To sum up your argument, Obama should #1. raise taxes, #2, increase spending to unprecedented levels as he has promised to do, #3 cut benefits as a bi-product of tax increases and the banks will suddenly stop failing and the birds will be singing and everything will be okay. This is truly the stuff of parody. I really thought you had a better grasp of the issues than this. Yes, the fair tax would work. You are correct there.

Tell me if I am not understanding you here, but you seem to think McCain continuing Bush's policies will fix this problem. How exactly would that work? If Bush's policies made this problem, then made it worse, when are they suddenly going to make it all okay again? Obama can say what he will do EXACTLY (which McCain cannot) and where he will get the money do the things we will do (again, McCain has not, probably because he cannot). McCain himself said that the fundamentals of the American economy are the workers, Obama's tax plan will give them tax CUTS where McCain will give them INCREASES. Won't that help them a bit? And Obama will raise taxes for the rich, who do not need tax cuts. The only reason McCain can say Obama will raise taxes is because McCain's taxes will be going up, a fact which does not make him happy.
