WHAT DO THEY have planned?

[Bill Collier]

Please post whatever you know about the bailout proposals by the new Obama Congress.

I can't figure it out yet. I know that doesn't help.

From what I've heard from Fox News.... Around $300,000,000,000(billion) in "tax cuts" for individuals in their "middle tax brackets" and "small business" "incentives".
The "tax cuts" are lined up for those who pay "NO" Federal taxes to recieve a $500 individual and $1000 married check as a rebate or some other fancy name for an added benefit of public welfare in my mind. Those with a job will recieve about $10 more per week in additional take-home pay through a reduced payroll tax implementation. The hope being that all that money given out will jump start the economy to get back to the Regan years... I guess.
The "small business incentives" is to help those businesses that qualify... to give incentives that increase jobs. I haven't heard much about what kind...type...or pay scale... of the jobs they desire to create.
In addition, I understand they are pushing for an infastructure package to go to the states to build/rebuild roads... bridges...buildings... etc, etc, etc. This is supposedly around $300,000,000,000(billion) to $450,000,000,000(billion) area. No specifics that I have heard.
Also, The states themselves...(though not all states)....want around $1,000,000,000,000(trillion)... just given to them to pay down their own personal debt... meet current obligations.... and future committed obligations.... that the mis-managed states have accured over the years. I guess the thought is that if the states are bailed out that it will be a "longer" time before they will need to come back again if they have a clean slate now to begin with the "chosen one" taking over and LOL...LOL....LOL....who the hell knows..... whats going on.

I am still wondering if Obama is still planning on bankrupting the COAL Industry? How is that trying to help the country get back on better fiscal footing?? I am very interested in how much money they are going to throw at "social" programs?

I like Pres. Regan's plan, but here's another possibility:
Instead of giving money to companies, banks and wall street companies, they should give everyone that makes less than 200,000 a one-time gift of $500,000. With doing this, the ones having trouble paying their loans could pay athem off, people would buy new cars and other merchandise and most would invest some or just put it in their savings acount.

There's 1 problem with what Obama calls a Tax cut,what he's calling a tax cut is a tax credit which means after 1 or 2 years of paying a lower taxes,then they go back up to that high rate.
Also he's raising taxes on oil,gas,and coal,which means electricity will cost you more and driving your car will cost you more.
Obama's just another tax and spend liberal and he will make energy cost you more.

I would posit the idea that Obama is Robespierre, a Jacobin, and Rahmi is his Marat.
