To get our economy growing, we need to recapture that fundamental American promise. That if you work hard, you can pay the bills. That if you get sick, you won’t go <a href="http://www.thrift-savings-plan.net" rel="nofollow">thrift savings plan</a> bankrupt. That your kids can get a good education, and that we can leave a legacy of greater opportunity to future generations.That’s the change the American people need. While Senator McCain likes to talk about change these days, his economic program offers nothing but more of the same. The American people need more than change as a slogan — we need change that makes a real difference in your life.dustinjruybalMon, 25 May 2009 00:00:19 -0000http://www.coloradoindependent.com/8384/obamas-colorado-speech-golden-moments-and-lumps-of-coal/#comment-2391774This seems to be the wrong way to go? why did people in iowa have to pay for the bridge that minnesota did not fix? A $600,000 million ballpark was more important? This should be a state fund and the people of the great lakes pay for? Heck will you guys build a $250,000 million bridge here in iowa? Hey Debbie you make $500.00 per day 365 day a year just like all the men in the senate? tell your residents Iowa needs 250,000 for a bridge? I got it lets ask sen Landreiu's home state if they have any extra $ heck everyone gives money to her? Harkin ,durbin ,obama ,reed ,all did ,did you?<br><br>why does obama throw more money to solve problems ? a new stimulis will add huge to the deficet,why did he EARMARK $1 BILLION to his home state? why has he and others take money from freddie mac? why does his vp pick biden use money from his pac fund to pay his $50,000 amtrak transportation to and from washington? this needs to be counted as income and not some pac fund? why are they still collecting $500.00 per day while not working for there home state? these pac funds hold $100's of MILLIONS of dollars and it is not taxed as income this loophole needs to shut down ,this would raise millions in taxes,this is income just like the watress's tips are taxed ,look up your senator at <a href="http://www.opensecrets.org" rel="nofollow">www.opensecrets.org</a> see if they have a pac fund? who gives to it and who the pac fund gives money too?<br><br>and to think biden said if a woman stands behind the president it is a step backward for women? I sure don't want this guy a heartbeat from the presidency?<br><br>ya washington is broke ,I know how to fix it? obama wants higher teacher pay HUH? well will this idea work for washington? more pay? <br><br>gee if obama gets in it will be more monney for all kinds? senate makes $500.00 per day 365 days a year and ya don't even need to be there to collect it? you can run for another job and still get the money?<br><br>wasn't it the democrats that wanted people making $100,000 get a 300 stimulis check that our grandkids will end up paying for? wonder how much of obamas plans our grandkids will end up paying?<br><br>seems THE AMERICANS know that they get more BANG FOR THE BUCK when they send money to there home state, they get more done,and twice as much in return for there money,<br><br>When people have to send money to congress they know it gets miss-spent and abused and nothing gets done, obama I dont think GETS IT ? <br><br>has obama taken a pay cut? lets ask him ,he will like it ,lets see if he will take a pay-cut ,Mikey likes ittomtomiowaTue, 16 Sep 2008 19:33:17 -0000
