I agree. And with a trillion dollars in give away programs maybe with a little thinking we can lower taxes more.

Question for Spence...When will you see Obama for what he is??

How much of your trillion dollars was actually in tax breaks?

I've got a good grasp for what he is, I also think I understand what he isn't.

When you say "tax breaks" do you mean, refunds to people that never put a dime in?

I'll bite...what isn't he?

There was certainly lower income assistance but still 22% of the entire package was tax cuts for Federal taxpayers.

Also, lower wage earners do pay payroll taxes which Obama has made cuts to, and asked for these to be extended.

Pass the Jobs bill and Obama could be one of the biggest tax cutting Presidents we've ever seen.

Yes, by placing limits on itemized deductions for higher wage earners.

Probably a moot issue anyway.

Eliminating the charitable contribution deduction is beyond stupid. What, stimulas is a better use of the money??
Glad we held our breath while the king and queen were on vacation so we could hear his "Plan"
He is what he is though.
