KLP, The biggest problem with Obama's current speeches are the false expectations he is raising with some. The reality will be harsh. We are currently on vacation at a real nice location with people with lots of money all around. With the events of the day I wonder what would happen if more of their money was taken in the form of taxes. Perhaps some would not matter - if it got to the point it mattered - a whole lot of people working here - those starting up the economic ladder - would find themselves with no ladder. I guess it gets down to the basic question - does the economy do better if I spend my money or if the government spends it? Further, does the economy do better if I save or if the government takes my money and spends it? Simple answers do not exist.
