>>"It would be a pragmatic, center-left administration,"

Translation: if you speak out what we are doing to the economy, we will get the IRS to audit you, or simply destroy your reputation.

"He's been pretty clear that business would have a seat at the table, but business wouldn't be able to buy all the chairs."

Translation: Better pay up- the unions and trial lawyers already have all the good seats snatched up.

Pragmatic? Center-left? Grab your wallet.

If Obama Could Enact All Of His Campaign Proposals, Taxpayers Would Be Faced With Financing Over $850 Billion In New Spending Over One White House Term:

Obama’s Health Care Plan Will Cost Up To $65 Billion A Year; Equal To $260 Billion Over Four Years. “[Obama] campaign officials estimated that the net cost of the plan to the federal government would be $50 billion to $65 billion a year, when fully phased in, and said the revenues from rolling back the tax cuts were enough to cover it.” (Robin Toner and Patrick Healy, “Obama Calls For Wider And Less Costly Health Care Coverage,” The New York Times, 5/30/07)

Obama’s Energy Plan Will Cost $150 Billion Over 10 Years, Equal To $15 Billion Annually And $60 Billion Over Four Years. “Obama will invest $150 billion over 10 years to advance the next generation of biofuels and fuel infrastructure, accelerate the commercialization of plug-in hybrids, promote development of commercial-scale renewable energy, invest in low-emissions coal plants, and begin the transition to a new digital electricity grid.” (Obama For America, “The Blueprint For Change,” www.barackobama.com, Accessed 1/14/08, p. 25)

Obama’s “Global Poverty Act” tax would commit the U.S. to spending 0.7 percent of its gross national product on foreign aid, which amounts to a phenomenal 13-year total of $845 billion over and above what the U.S. already spends.

banker Robert Wolf, chief executive of UBS (UBS, news, msgs) Group for the Americas.

UBS is a Swiss concern. Maybe he was just checking up on some late funds transfers.
