not sure you got the candidates economic plans rights not to mention those plans that where by now shelved as not to hurt popularity and will resurface later after election. You and unfortunate so many others are missing, is the fact that now elections are about WINNING and GRABING POWER and not some idealistic expression of patriotism which will truly benefit the electorate. Unfortunate after the elections are over, there is payout time to all the pressure groups that got you elected and not about the welfare and benefit of the nation. It was very obvious in the Clinton and Bush administration and I am sure that it will not change in this election – so your choice are which group will extort less for their political support from the elected presidency / administration and whose groups true needs will be just arbitrary tossed aside One major issue that bothers me very much is the lack of condemnation of WS chieftains and their accomplices by both candidates – and more so that one of them surrounded himself with Goldman Sachs alumni as his economic advisers – the biggest legal theft of people savings, pension funds and further wellbeing of our nation was engineered by an GS alumni team under the Clinton administration It is so easy to find a scapegoat but more difficult to get to the root of the problem and understand the economic developments - turbulences in clear skies happen more often than one can predict and are the most dangerous As a side comment if Obama is so certain to win the upcoming election, and his economic plan will be so successful if implemented, then why there is a massive selloff of everything now and the DOW down close to 600 points or about 7% - just wonder it is intriguing

Again, you have FAILED to answer my straight forward question, what's the problem? <ggg> Let us try once more... So, tell me, how does firing people to pay for a tax increase create jobs? Kindly explain, keep it pithy and to the point, this means don't give me some rehashed talking points, just a direct answer would be nice... TIA GZ
