"This agenda is paid for," Obama said as the Republican National Committee promoted an "Obama Spend-O-Meter" online to track his proposals and portray him as a tax-and-spend liberal. Obama explained that the money for his spending proposals will come from ending the Iraq war, cutting tax breaks for corporations, taxing carbon pollution and raising taxes on high income earners.

Nobody has met my price yet. I will sell my vote to whichever candidate promises to give me (and everyone else) a million dollars. I don’t think I’ll have to wait long. Someone will ante up.

This man is the Anti-Christ, I swear.

He is, at the very least, a milk chocolate Jimmy Carter.

And doesn’t that give you a nice, warm feeling?

cutting tax breaks for corporations, taxing carbon pollution and raising taxes on high income earners.

We'll add jobs by cutting jobs.

Funny how in the same speech in which he talks about job creation, he talks about all these tax hikes, as if that will help create jobs. Quite the opposite. However, he is correct about the need for some spending on national transportation infrastructure.

That’s what we need...more jobs that contribute nothing.

This agenda is paid for,”.... You want to trust them right? Obama is a tax increase waiting to happen over and over again. At one time I didn’t give him credit as being a serious candidate. Would pull out of Iraq and Afganistan and bomb Pakistan? This is NOT serious.

How much of the $210 billion will pay for sick days, hourly breaks, vacation days, and time spent sleeping in the bushes near the job sites?

Obama does not understand that taxing private sector employers will destroy millions of jobs, and that the make-work jobs created in their place will actually produce nothing of value other than millions of new Democrat voters dependent on the Federal Government for a living.

Oh, wait: he does get it.

210 Billion = 210 x 1000 Million = 210,000 millionaires

Hell, just have a welfare lottery and give out checks for 1 million dollars tax free for exchange of a signed statement that you would never again seek help from the government. You could wipe out poverty in ten years........
