Things to think about

George Bush initiated tax cuts during his administration to help the economy. Instead of helping the economy it brought our national dept to a record number and the economy went in the tank. Now these tax cuts continue to the tune of $900 billion a year.

The cuts go to companies that are no longer US companies but ones owned by foreign interests. They do not provide jobs nor manufacture products in the US but they do sell their products here.If we would of done away with tax cuts for these companies and big business, we could use the tax money to pay down the national debt, fund our schools, fund medical coverage for our service men and fund many other necessary projects in the US.

President Obama tried to get tax breaks for companies that provided jobs and products, MADE IN THE USA, but the conservatives did not go along. Conservatives wanted tax cuts for all large corporations whether or not they were US companies or provided jobs or products made in the US.

George Bush bailed out Wall Street and the conservatives went along. President Obama invested the countries money in the auto industry and the conservatives were against it. Which investment has worked out for the american people?

What is happening to the oil produced in Iraq? Where does the oil produced in Alaska go? With the Luna plan where do kids do home work if they can’t take lap tops home?
