Obama has to somehow pay for all the new government he is going to create...
What governemnt is he going to create? Do you have specific departments he's going to create. I think some people watching over the people betting on the stock market might help. He will need to raise revenue. There are a few obvious ways. Stop the $10 billion a month in handouts to Iraq will be a good start. And adding 3% to the tax rate of people making more that $250K will help. Just put it back how it was when we were paying down our dept in the 90's. How about a windfall profit tax on Big Oil? They just posted the largest quarterly profit ever in history, beating their own record set recently. Stimulate the economy at the consumer level and the economy will quit shinking and sales taxes will start flowing again. This 'Trickle Down Economics' has been a sham from the start.
