I think Bush leads out of fear -- he figures he can scare the public into supporting his plans. Doesn't everyone remember every time his numbers went down in the polls, there would be an announcement that there was an increased threat? Pure BS. I think he's trying to lead out of fear again, but it's not working. He's a lame duck. I honestly believe he is one of the worst Presidents and not just because he is a Republican. I was very relieved to see a Republican after the Clinton mess.

I believe that there is more than enough blame on both sides of the aisle for the current situation. If people don't vote these suckers in Congress out after all this, then we deserve what we get. I also think the White House should be blamed and the Fed. All of these Ivy League educated economists in positions of authority and look where we are.

I think a paid job program working on the US infrastructure would be a good idea. A little before my time, but wasn't there a WPA that did that after the depression?
Problem is, most Americans no longer want to do manual labor. That's why we have all those immigrants taking those jobs.

Taking from the rich and giving to the poor? I'm not sure that taxing large companies or not taxing large companies really makes a difference in the creation of jobs. The truth is companies have come to rely on cheap labor overseas. I know that conventional wisdom says that giving tax incentives to big companies creates jobs, but I'm not sure conventional wisdom still applies.
Ever since the economy started to tank, they say that charitable contributions are way, way down and the food banks aren't getting company donations either.
I certainly don't believe in socialism or communism, but I think those of us that have should feel the moral responsibilty to help others -- either by giving them jobs in our companies or making charitable contributions. Besides, every time they create big new taxes, the lawmakers also leave big gaping loopholes for those wealthy enough to get them.
