Lane3;

I'm "clearly" questioning your notion that your Buffet increases and job creation would be cost prohibitive.

They wouldn't be cost prohibitive! I NEVER SAID THAT. The tax increase from the Buffet tax increase would pay for the job creation here at home. .......One is a revenue generator for government which would pay for the government expense of investing in infrastructure to create jobs.

Here is an example of your dancing;
I said......The list of items I suggested to get the economy moving were a list of things to do here at home. We could do those now of course but that would sink the dollar ever further as the governments spending fell further into deficit.<i/>

To which you then completely change the meaning by quoting that statement as this;......We could do those [Buffet tax increases and job creation] now of course, but that would sink the dollar ever further as the governments spending fell further into deficit"

The Buffet tax increase is NOT a way to create jobs - it is a way to pay for them.
