With all the BS that's flying about, I thought I would post this.
According to multiple sources, The Pledge includes the following proposals:
- Permanently extend the Bush tax cuts (all of them), or, as Republicans put it, a promise not to raise taxes on January 1, 2011 (the day the Bush tax cuts expire).
- Repeal and replace health care reform
- End the stimulus program
- A cap on discretionary spending
- Phase out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
- Permanently end the TARP program
- Keep Guantanamo open
- New sanctions on Iran and more money for missile defense
- Require every bill to be available online for three days before it is voted on.
- Require every bill to be certified as constitutional before it is voted on.
wasn't the last two promised by Barry?
But putting an end to the tax cut deal is a good move, then business can know what to expect of the future and plan accordingly and hopefully grow and lower the unemployment rate

- Why isn't logical to put the tax rate back to the point when our Country had the strongest economy in history?
- And go against what Americans want.
- Of course after each already spent the pork money they added into it and the last year is the least amount spent.
- If the reps for the first time in history can lower/balance discretionary spending, then sweet.. but not likely. Unless they're going to say it was them that stopped the wars, otherwise it's going to happen when it stops and outside of that, nothing will change.
- 90% of the mortgages in America are backed by FM/FM... Good luck.
- Sweet but with Congress making rules about it, it isn't going to happen.
- No opinion, just don't care enough about Guantanamo.
- No more missile defense, stop the war shit, leave Iran alone, stop being the police and burning a trillion a year in useless bullshit.
- Most are... not all will be and never will be no mater who is in power. It's a fun talking point though.
- Wouldn't that slow doing anything and everything down?
Tax cuts for personal do not make companies grow... tax cuts for companies makes companies grow.
