so yeah, lets elect the guy who wants to spend more money because, well if we just raise taxes on the rich, everything will be ok.
I'm often embarrassed that I've accomplished so little in a country where most of the people are dumb enough to believe Obama's fairy tale.

Why don't you just say Obama is a Socialist and you don't like that. That would be understandable.
Obama is talking about cutting Gov services we don't need, reducing others, cleaning house in that way to free up money. "Reducing Gov" Which is a major amount of money.
As well as stopping 10b a month going out into one war. Then reducing tax on some people, closing tax holes that are abused by corps, then reducing the tax again in those areas. He has explained where, what, and even how - I'm just not going to type that much here.
Then to bring in more money, jobs, ect to cover the cleanup, he wants to advance forward into Energy Technology. (the new i.t.) Which could and should be a major building block for our Economy over next decade.
I don't really understand how you could be confused about what Obama has said, how he would get the money and how he plans on doing it. He has been saying the same thing for months. And just the "basic" areas he is talking about frees up far more than enough money to cover his social ideas.
The bush "Tax cuts" paid for itself because it taxed the middle class more. Look it up.
