      I await the concrete explanation behind the cereal box rhetoric you just repeated. I can't respond unless you make yourself clear.

      Economic debate is folly but..

      For the sake of brevity; make it easier for more youth to get an education. Increase the tax on higher income brackets to help with this. Leave or decrease corporate tax. Give more leniency towards small business loans. Crack down on insurance companies policies underwriting process.

      As for international affairs and trade...

      I'm not sure how I feel about that one.

      Not something I am adamant about. So, in that respect, I am really curious what your thoughts are - if you are able to share them without being insulting.

      We're talking about the bailout. Explain how a bailout is an investment in tomorrow or whatever you said.

      What do you suggest as alternatives..?

      I wish you knew how flexible I was about the matter... I'm certainly not favoring one idea over the other. Just want you to know that I am not arguing one thing or another.

      The economy is slowing, if you raise taxes on people that makes it worse as things are harder on people. We in a huge amount of debt, if you lower taxes on corporations, we will go even further into debt. Banks giving bad loans is what caused a lot of the problems, giving them more leniency, is the same as telling them to make more bad loans, which makes things worse.

      Of course the thing you didn't mention was to cut spending in the government. By drastically cutting government waste and spending we have a lot more money, which means you can lower taxes. Of course no one wants to cut government waste, at least no one in the government.

      I said higher taxes on the higher income brackets. Hell, even Bill O'Reilly agreed with this (at 20% anyway).

      We in a huge amount of debt, if you lower taxes on corporations, we will go even further into debt.
      Uhm.. why?

      Banks giving bad loans is what caused a lot of the problems, giving them more leniency, is the same as telling them to make more bad loans, which makes things worse.
      Perhaps government issued business loans would be better. I'm not really sure how to stand on supporting small business considering how much fail.

      Of course the thing you didn't mention was to cut spending in the government.
      Well that's for sure - the war economy has not shown much benefit lately besides pride..?

      It is easy to say that; but what are you cutting? Education? Health? Military?

      Foreign aid to other countries. Wasted subsidies on things that really can't compete on their on in the market. Definitely the military. The wars and stuff need to stop, as well as all the bases we have all around the world that we do not need.

      I mean we can seriously cut waste from nearly everything, but thats a place to start.
