What is OBAMA going to do to help the economy?

[Red Flamingo]

All we hear is him say "same old same old" yet he does not seem to have any understanding of a democratic free market system. Other than government intervention, what policies does he support to stimulate the economy, and what prevention tools does he want to put in place?

[Ryan]

Not be Bush. That's a great start.

[Jeremy]

More than the Republicans, that's for sure!

[Thunderousplane099]

He's going to regulate it a little bit because corporations are getting to big.

I'm not saying he's socialist, he's going to reg. a little bit.

[mtofstrength]

if by help you mean ruin, then hes going to do quite alot.

All we have to do is undo everything Bush has done, and we will actually be in fair shape. That, and re-regulate everything back to around 1990. Renegotiate Nafta, make education more affordable and perhaps have some industrial policy (probably centering on green technologies) that is similar to our successful agricultural policy.
Tax cuts for small business. Subsidizing health care will bring a huge boost to our competitiveness abroad.

[DAVID J]

he wants to give tax cuts to the middle class and raise taxes on the upper 5% while creating much stricter regulations on wall street which will mean a great deal of government interference on what is supposed to be a free maket system. it's redistribution of wealth. the problem with that is is that it's the upper 5% who create the jobs for the rest of us. what good will a tax cut do you when you're laid off from work? it's a socialist idea that looks good on paper but has been proven many times through out history simply doesn't work.

[The Man]

Yell the word "CHANGE" over and over and hope the whole thing takes care of itself.

[Chris K]

First and foremost Barack Obama will end the war in Iraq and stop the flow of wasted tax dollars. Then Barack Obama will roll back the Bush tax cuts on couples who make more than $250,000.00 and individuals who make more than $200,000.00 and give a tax break to the other 95% of Americans. Barack Obama will negotiate with insurance companies to make sure that every American has access to affordable health insurance. In doing this he will transfer the burden of providing health care off the tax payer. He has a lot of other great ideas but this will give you start.

This election all boils down to one question. Are you better off than you were 8 years ago? If you answer yes you will want to vote for John McCain who will carry on the Bush policies. If you are not doing better than you were 8 years ago you must vote for change and vote for Barack Obama.
