Obama economic plan bad for U.S.

Barack Obama’s plan of raising taxes during an economic downturn has been tried before and caused depressions that took years to overcome. The trillions of dollars required by Obama’s socialistic reformation doesn’t exist in today’s government.

Our current government is broke due to the Democrats’ policy of demanding mortgage loans for people who could not afford to pay them, and President Bush lacking the guts to get on the bully pulpit and let everyone know what was happening, even while congressional Republicans tried numerous times to fix the pending economic disaster, and Democrats blocked the effort.

Now, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the same Democrats who continued to protect Fannie and Freddie while ignoring the pending catastrophe, plan to send out another stimulus package, creating even more taxes for taxpayers. As for myself, I don’t want to pay 55 cents of every dollar I earn because of some politician’s greediness, or trying to
buy a position.

Voters, open your eyes and listen to what candidates actually say. Don’t let the media think for you and select your president.

America is not lost … yet.
