I have to disagree. Obama has already stated that he's going to let Bush's tax cuts expire in 2010. That means each tax bracket will see a 5% increase in their rate. As for Obama's current tax proposals, the NY Post has a very nice chart, illustrating the results related to someone working in the state of New York, and also the city. PIC

Obama vs Obama On The Stimulus The Democrats are gonna have a rough time defending their stewardship of things, especially when unemployment is in double-digits, taxes are higher, and deficits are setting records. Hope n change!

Of course. That can be said of deer as well. Once they become overpopulated, their food supply diminishes, and they starve. But there are still many places that control the population of deer, usually through hunting. So I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.

Spend more money and raise more taxes. That's exactly what this economy needs. I have a thought. Is Barack Obama already the worst President in American history? Just wondering.

It's not necessarily meant to be sport. I wish people would better inform themselves. Alaska has issued aerial wolf-hunting permits in areas where moose and caribou populations are endangered. Yes she does. However, evidently you don't.

So basically you're conceding my point. Thank you.

For perjury. Yep, smarter then that, and smarter then you. State Department official source of Plame leak WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage was the source who revealed the identity of CIA officer Valerie Plame to syndicated columnist Robert Novak in 2003, touching off a federal investigation. CNN It's been known for quite a while that Armitage was the source of the leak. It's just ashame that so many of you rely on far leftwing websites for your news, instead of more credible sources.

Wrong. Try again.

Who is "they"?

It wasn't off the radar. Former CIA director General Hayden discussed his knowledge of the initiative. There are certain triggers that must be met before certain members of congress are breifed. The initiative never met those triggers. The initiative never was fully realized as an actual operational program. End of story. The initiative was cancelled. There was no functioning program to cancel. No. It wasn't an actual program. It never attained that final stage. The bigger question is this. Why are the Dems committing political suicide? Are they honestly going to complain to the American people, that Dick Cheney wanted to concieve of a plan to kill top Al Qaeda leaders after 9/11? Seriously? Do they think that's a winning strategy for them? It's as politically suicidal as if Dems challenged some initiative back in the 40's to plan and kill Hilter and his top associates. Go get'em Dems!

President Teleprompter's teleprompter falls and breaks during his speech. RCP

According to current and former government officials, the agency spent money on planning and possibly some training. It was acting on a 2001 presidential legal pronouncement, known as a finding, which authorized the CIA to pursue such efforts. The initiative hadn't become fully operational at the time Mr. Panetta ended it. WSJ End of story.

There was no program. It was never implemented, so there was nothing to report.

Wow, Cheney wanted to kill top Al Qaeda leaders. What an a-hole, and what a suprise.

Yes they do, by law. But the fact is, that if they could keep more of their own money, they wouldn't need a dime.

Democrats Split on Stimulus as Job Losses Mount, Deficit Soars July 8 (Bloomberg) -- Democrats who control the levers of power in Washington are divided over whether to push for more deficit spending to end the recession and stem job losses, complicating the possibility of a second stimulus bill. “We need to be open to whether or not we need further action,” House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, a Maryland Democrat, told reporters yesterday. The U.S. should consider drafting a second stimulus package focusing on infrastructure projects because the bill approved in February was “a bit too small,” said Laura Tyson, an adviser to Obama during last year’s presidential campaign who now sits on the White House’s Economic Recovery Advisory Board. Rhode Island Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, a Democrat whose home state has a 12 percent jobless rate, told ABCNews.com that a second stimulus is “probably needed.” Action by Congress would “probably take place towards the end of the year,” Whitehouse said. Bloomberg Epic failure. :angry:

Yep. It's pretty safe to say, that Obama's economic "stimulus", which was more of a government stimulus, has been a complete disaster. It was suppose to be timely, temporary, and targeted. It hasn't been any of those. John McCain would have pushed for a smaller, but more targeted and timely stimulus bill. He would have suspended payroll taxes, captial gains taxes, and cut taxes for businesses and inividuals, as well as the corporate tax rate, which is now the highest of the G8. It would have actually stimulated the private sector, which is the primary engine of job creation, instead of expanding the budgets of government programs. And now they have the nerve to talk of a second stimulus, because they failed so miserably on the first.

Exactly. I've always tried to figure out how the left justifies its hypocrisy when it comes to manufacturing jobs vs so-called global warming. They bemoan the loss of manufacturing jobs, but at the same time, push for enviornmental regulation that would lead to the loss of even more of jobs they're so upset that are disappearing. Go figure.

I also agree. Why are we using taxpayer dollars to fund worthless events such as pride parades? They should raise money privately. They should also be held to the same public decency standards the rest of us are.

Yes it was. America is part of NATO. An attack on any member shall be considered to be an attack on all. It's article 5 of the NATO charter. I'm sorry you're completely unaware of it. Perhaps you shouldn't bloviate on subjects you're ill-informed of. What country are you speaking of, cause it certainly can't be Canada.

You're the same kind of person that led to the military using ancient, dilapidated helicopters, which caused the deaths of several Canadian servicemen. How about you roll the dice with your own life, instead of somebody elses.

That's complete nonsense.

You don't raise taxes during a deep recession. That's about the last thing you want to do, unless of course you want to crush any hope of a quick economic recovery. And recessions are when running small deficits are understandable, and even helpful. You cut spending after the economy has recovered, and balanced budgets will be easily achieved. There's no reason to get hysterical over a few small deficits, because Canada is in good fiscal shape, and as a percentage of GDP, they're minuscule. Remember, it could be much worse. We could have a tax and spendoholic like Barack Obama, running up TRILLION dollar yearly deficits as far as the eye can see. Thank God we're getting off easy. To quote the article... The federal government will be running a relatively small but permanent deficit in five years

Hopefully he doesn't. I don't want to destroy the Canadian economy, for what can only be described as shoddy and ideological science.

LOL, once again, Dobbin caught in a lie. Or at the very least, a half-truth. I'm sure Alberta would give up the $4B from the feds, for their $17B back. So basically Alberta gets a net loss of $13B out of the deal. And that doesn't count the money they've been pumping to the feds for many, many, years. Let's compare what Manitoba sends to Ottawa, vs what Alberta sends. Anyone have the numbers? I'm guessing Manitoba comes out with a net gain, vs Alberta's large net loss. So let's stop patting the Manitoba NDP for balancing budgets on the backs of other provinces, through federal welfare. Because it's not only laughable, but disgusting.
