The Economy

[pontooner]

Pontooner, the Bush tax cuts won't hurt the economy, that's for sure. It is a start that's far better than your party's answers. So far your guys have spent a trillion dollars with the promise unemployment wouldn't go above 8%, and jacked the deficit so far out of control it's not likely to get paid for in our lifetime.

You didn't explain how extending the Bush tax cuts would help the economy since they have failed to for years and then you complain about the deficit but want the tax cuts extended.

The only answer to improving the economy is to drastically shrink the federal government, cut taxes for EVERYONE, and get the heck out of the way. It's not a difficult concept...most of us get it.

Deregulation is a major reason the economy is in the toilet right now and again the Bush tax cuts have failed to help the economy and taken billions in revenue away from reducing the deficit.

The Liberal Dems have also taken advantage of a tough situation and rushed through an unconstitutional 'healthcare' bill that will eventually be gutted. Bottom line is the government cannot legally force us to buy insurance, and the courts will bear that out.

You are required by law to have auto insurance aren't you.

No, the new crop of Republicans, or the same old ones for that matter can't magically fix our problems, but I think they finally understand that a bloated government, out of control spending, and forced wealth redistribution is the wrong answer.

Funny because every poll I saw had the economy as the number 1 issue by a large margin, not that I approve of all you listed but if the economy was doing good I think you know how things would have turned out.
