Remember Reid and Pelosi will be retaining their positions and just may decide that a sensible budget is "off the table". Depends on the Democrat and the “sensible” Democrats who might support it.

Maybe they'd take on McCain, maybe not. But it's darned certain they would give Obama everything he asks for, no matter how inane. If our choice remains the "presumptive two," <b>gridlock</b> is my preferred course, and that means McCain, even with his awful positions. The Democratic Congress has rolled over for Bush.

How can you say it's "people on welfare" (entitlements) when Obama has proposed giving <strong>$500 million</strong> of your hard earned tax dollars <em>to tax exempt churches</em> for "faith based programs? The "people" we need to get off welfare are our government officials and greedy companies who are allowed to keep untaxed billions in foreign countries where they set up factories.

When Obama scoffed at $30 gas savings he was chastised by middle class America who looked at that extra $30 as a tank of gas, food, a pair of new shoes for growing kids or an extra co pay for a doctor's visit. No one receives inflation raises any more even thought it was reported to be over 4% so far this year; and merit raises and job security are things of the past. Obama is clearly aware of who he has to please; it's even apparent in his campaign. He isn't worried about all those college kids out their working to get him elected finding jobs when they graduate and I see nothing in his plans to say he's going to follow in the footsteps of our last Depression president FDR or even recession president Bill Clinton. Forget all these "economic" appraisals from the experts; we all know the economy is good when we can afford food, clothing and shelter and have enough left over for "the pursuit of happiness" and we haven't had <em>that</em> since William Jefferson Clinton. Obama's "fix" is the same old same old; nothing hopeful or changed about it. And he, too, may be in trouble if he doesn't move into Our White House since the main financial contributor to his solvency is in jail but I'm sure he can find another quicker than we can find another job.

What people typically refer to as 'welfare' (eg, entitlement programs like food stamps that are for the poor regardless of age) make up a very small piece of the pie.

Every segment of the country should feel they are doing their part. It's a way of marginalizing some of the Boomers who threaten him and question his integrity. No matter how much money you make, you still need to have input. That's the American way. Just say no to marginalizing people like the poor, seniors, others.
