      it makes me wonder (not because of you specifically, but all the obama haters on this forum) what people would be saying if mccain put forth a stimulus bill and after two whole months the world wasnt magically "fixed."

      Getcher green hat, we are goin fishin.

        I'd still think he was a fucking idiot, just like Obama.

            1. refund all taxes from the 2008 calendar year (stimulus)

            2. start a flat/fair tax system, 3 levels:

            $0-$10,000 - no tax
            $10,001-$25,000 - $500 a year
            $25,001-infinity - $2000 a year

            1. Document current Govt spending levels to set up a base. Then reduce all spending across the board proportionately so that we don't spend more than we take in according to 2. (above)

            2. Enjoy prosperity

                i didnt mean propose the SAME bill, i meant whatever bill he thought was the best suited for the situation. the point was, that no matter what "plan" was chosen nothing is going to change over night. two months isnt even long enough for fema to get water to the superdome let alone enough time for the govt to fix an economic crisis.

                  I really liked Chucks idea of tax credits to businesses who hire employees.

                  On a side note. I wish we could vote for who gets cabinet positions. Obama is not, nor has he ever claimed to be, a economist, military strategist, or an expert in any field really. Its his advisors who give him the information for him to make a decision on, and they can put any sort of slant on it that they want.

                    I have my ideas for helping the economy, but I'll keep them as that due to the fact they are my ideas and not what a politician could handle. If any of you guys get a chance to watch/tivo/dvr, John Stossel will have an interesting feature on 20/20 next Friday. Preview showed some clips that were defiantely intriguing

                    http://reason.org/bs/

                    And he's a lefty, "get used to it", kind of sounded like a forewarning, video and article.

                    I'll keep my money, guns and freedom. You keep the change.

                    Danny: What about Fargostreet?
                    Hallorann: Fargostreet?
                    Danny: You're scared of Fargostreet, ain't ya?
                    Hallorann: No, I ain't.
                    Danny: Mr. Hallorann. What's in Fargostreet?
                    Hallorann: Nothin'! There ain't nothin' in Fargostreet. But you ain't got no business goin' in there anyway. So stay out! You understand? Stay out!

                      So the president isn't to blame, his advisors are?

                      So Bush was never to blame for all the crap people blame on him, his advisors were!

                      Holder sure seems to be doing a great job...

                        Easy.

                        Legalize Marijuana and tax the shit out of it.

                        They just had a show on tv about the place in California where its legal to grow/sell. And 1 guy alone paid in over 8 million dollars tax.

                          this is a good idea... it's what they did with booze... outlawed it then realized they could make a buttload on taxing of it...

                          our country would have more money, stoners would be more happy, and it's one less waste of jail space and police effort to bust ppl with pot...
