Why is it that every time a Republican political candidate opens his or her mouth, the first thing out of it is talk of lowering taxes without any respect for fiscal responsibility?
Obama wants to raise taxes on the rich. He plans to implement a middle class tax cut that will keep more money in the hands of the middle class than making the Bush tax cuts permanent would.

Why are you voting for the Republicans who have shot up our spending so that we have to raise taxes to pay off the debt, instead of the budget balancing party?

Because by far most of our tax money goes to responsibilities the government shouldnt have?

What does that have to do with irresponsible tax cuts?
Make the spending and program cuts if you'd like, but don't implement irresponsible tax cus that you have no plans to pay for while you are in office.

Admittedly, Bush has hit the "Turbo" button on the debt. I wont argue that one bit. But 2 wrongs dont make a right.
Obama doesn't speak of balancing the budget though.Originally posted by: Craig234

He speaks of increasing taxes and increasing spending.
Aka Tax and Spend.
Check out his own fiscal web page link Not one mention of a balanced budget.
Someone should nail him down on when he thinks we can have a balanced budget again.Q: Would it be a priority of your administration to balance the federal budget every year?
A: Over the last seven years, what we've seen is an economy that's out of balance because of the policies of George Bush and the Republicans in Congress. Not only do we have fiscal problems, but we've got growing inequality. People are working harder for less and they're seeing costs go up. So what I want to do is get the long-term fundamentals right. That means that we are investing in education & infrastructure, structuring fair trade deals, and also ending the war in Iraq. That is money that can be applied at home for critical issues.
Q: So a priority to balance the federal budget, or not?
A: We are not going to be able to dig ourselves out of that hole in 1 or 2 years. But if we can get on a path of sustained growth, end the war in Iraq, end some of the special interest loopholes and earmarks that have been clogging up the system, then I think we can return to a path of a balanced budget.

So we have a clear choice.Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) plans to promise on Monday that he will balance the federal budget by the end of his first term by curbing wasteful spending and overhauling entitlement programs, including Social Security, his advisers told Politico.

Obama who has no plan to balance the budget or McCain who says he will balance it by the end of his term.
