His plan sucks.

The vast majority of Americans don't need a tax cut.... and those making over 50K a year need an increase if anything.

Won't be able to do s-h-i-t anyways. He would be blocked all the way by Congress. Don't know why people care about this. Ain't like they do it. "PLANs" are usually fkn fairy tales. What he could do is not reduce taxes for the wealthy. That's about as far as he would get.

Watching C-Span now and they are talking about the economy. Thought I'd stay with it for a bit and see what is being done.

(I am paraphrasing these two speeches to illustrate what I heard)
Hillary just talked for 20 minutes plus pointing her finger squarely at the Repubs the whole speech. In the last 30 seconds ending with we Democrats are here to help, but offered nothing specific.

Jon Kyl spoke next for 20 minutes saying it wasn't us. We saw it coming, but the Dems blocked us and wouldn't let us fix it. He lost me late as he was blabbing on, but basically offered nothing just like Hillary.

I'll never get the last 40 minutes of my life back....

Well, here is who they are gunna bail out. Somebody wants to make money off of an ice cream man. He says he wants something nice to live in, but can't afford it at all. Wealthy company wants to make money off anybody with 2 balls or a slit. So, they let him have a 500k loan to buy a house. The company doesn't care that he puts barely anything down etc. They just want that baby bottle(all that interest each month.) Problem is the house is now worth 350k-400k. They don't like that. Instead of taking that hit, Bush is gunna take that loan off their hands. You're gunna pay for it. The same people that claim they want smaller gov't etc. are the ones getting bailed out on loans they made. See the hypocrisy? Same as the war. They claim they want smaller gov't, but want to piss away a ton of money in IRAQ. Atleast the Libertarians are honest about being selfish a-holes. They don't say they want smaller gov't when it's convenient . They really want smaller gov't. These wealthy companies been living the high life on the high interest they've been charging on bad loans. When the price of houses go down, they don't want to take the hit they should have to take. The taxpayer is gunna take that hit. So, don't complain about taxes being too high on the wealthy. They are getting repaid here plenty in this deal. What about the parties, the vacations, the expensive houses paid for off the high interest on the bad loans? All is forgiven for the rich n' powerful. It's o.k. for them to get rich, but when it's time to lose a lil money, they claim bankruptcy n' beg BUSH to bail them out.

In a hotel room, couldn't sleep. I was hoping to learn something. One can always hope....

Haven't seen any GGW infomercials in a while. Is Joe Francis still in jail?
