Sure I saved a couple of house payments this year in taxes, but many rich folks saved a Porche in taxes.
Your jealousy is showing.

The tax cuts were supposed to create jobs. But they have not.

The St. Louis Fed says you are either mistaken or lying. Which do you choose?

On top of that we now go deeper in debt as deficits continue. Bush has no plan to deal with the deficits and rising debt.
There's a war on. Nobody told you?

In my opinion it would have been far better for the economy to invest in our country.

GNP is UP.
Gross private domestic investment is UP. In fact, It's higher than it ever was during Clinton's years.

What was your point again?

Improving infrastructure and investing in renewable energy would be good ways to jump start the economy.
I just returned from Palm Springs. Want to know something? There appear to be at least twice as many windmill generators there now than I've ever seen before. And I was there less than 6 months ago.

If "renewable energy", non-oil-dependent, is so easy to do, why haven't the Europeans done it? Until the North Sea discoveries, they had no oil of their own and were totally dependent on the Middle East.

Why hasn't Japan? It has to import and pay for every drop.

But it's all a conspiracy by George Bush and Texas oil moguls.

Come on, apply some common sense.

Trickle down does not work as an economic stimulus...that's been proven now and before.
Worked pretty good for Reagan.

As for healthcare...which my family currently doesn't have...I think that we could redirect monies already being spent by the government...more like wasted...and by pooling the entire country together, that we can be more efficient in the costs and delivery of healthcare.
In other words you want to have the gov't rob your neighbors and pay your bills.

Tough.

So you want the same people that brought you public housing to take care of your medical needs?

ARE YOU NUTS??????
