[e1evation]

this man knows what he is talking about, if only more people in our government had a backbone like him we wouldn't be where we are now

[tbaarr1]

@silversnowsnake no dude you repubs are robbing the poor and middle class and you have made no stinking jobs in the last 8 months since you got your tax breaks extended..so you should lose them

Lack of Regulation...!

[Cheristm]

I wish this guy would move to Kansas so I could vote for him!!!

@silversnowsnake Sorry buddy, it's the lack of regulations that got us into what we are in today. You just don't get it. "Free market" doesn't mean regulation-free market. That would just drive us deeper into what we are today.. and it's heading there. You have a very horrid view on how America should be. Thankfully we have checks in place to keep it from getting too crazy.

@Mushuukyou lol I'm studying social economy and sociology and I do understand more than normal people do. Tax cut alone doesn't create job. We need to remove regulations. We need a free market. Nowadays the US market is not free at all. It has become a mixed market and government subsidizes losers in the market. I'm talking about healthy economy but you're talking about healthy government = big government. Sorry. Obama's not better than Bush. He's continuing Bush's wars and a new war.

@katecampeau military spending is an easy target (although a strange one if one considers that we're engaged in several areas around the world including Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, etc.). However, if you look at the federal budget, the items that are by far the most costly are entitlements (social security, medicare, medicaid). Given the long term danger in how these are funded, these must be dealt with and soon.

[Mushuukyou]

You don't understand how the country works, so you really should stop pretending you do. Obama could be doing a better job, yes, but we have Bush to blame and the deregulations for the current situation. Get education and stop the stupid.

[Mushuukyou]

@silversnowsnake Only through proper regulation, taxation and a healthy government can we restore this country. Right now the wealthy and corporations are enjoying lots of tax breaks and some don't even pay any taxes, and they are sitting on lots of cash, and they aren't creating jobs. No, WASTEFUL spending has put us in this recession, namely the unnecessary wars we started. Sorry, but Bush has caused most of the deficit. It just carried over to Obama.

[silversnowsnake]

@Mushuukyou @Mushuukyou Programs don't create jobs. It only create gov jobs and increase tax burden and bureaucracy. Private sector creates job. Spending is the cause of recession. Bush was stupid. He spent to deficit and Obama is worse. Bush left the office with $470Bil deficit and Obama is making it worse to $14 trillion. Corporation tax rate in US is highest among other developed countries. Can't you see that we're exporting our jobs abroad because of high tax rates. Liberals're not working.

[Mushuukyou]

Cutting taxes, spending and deregulation is EXACTLY what has led us to this recession and could lead us to a depression! Yes, people need jobs - but we do that by raising taxes and supporting programs that help everyone, especially the middle and lower class. Sorry, your way of "getting America back" has failed, as we can see. You, sir, have failed in ideas... oh wait, you're just borrowing other people's ideas.
