The war and the recession

[randyjohnson]

My mom used to be a republican but now she's a democrat. She was a former republican because republican Presidents didn't start wars. That is no longer true. Now the republican Presidents are the ones who start wars. Barack Obama is the only one who can end this war.

What do George Bush and John McCain have in common? They both have violent tempers, they give tax breaks to the rich, they want the war to continue and neither of them can end this recession.

Many people recently lost their jobs because of this recession. Who will lose their job next? It might be you. How will you support your family if you're unemployed? This could happen if McCain wins.

Do you have loved ones who are in the military or who are planning to join the military? If McCain wins, they may die in the war. i don't want that to happen and neither do you.

If we elect Obama, he'll stop this war that we shouldn't be in. He will also end this recession.

I don't want this damn war to drag on until 2012 or 2016. if McCain wins, the war will last that long.

McCain plans to give the oil companies a several million dollar tax break. Gas prices won't go down when McCain will be lining the oil companies pockets with money. He plans to give tax breaks to many other rich people too.

Barack Obama will stop the war, end this recession and stop gas prices from rising. Obama is the only hope for this country.

What is Obama going to do to strengthen the economy?

Neither HUSSEIN nor McBottomFeeder would have much room to maneuver due to the Repugs and neo-c*nts putting the Fed govt into a financial straightjacket with their bail outs and unwinnable bullshit wars without end.

There is a distinction between the fucked-up financial economy and the more-or-less healthy real economy. The problem today is how to keep the suicidal financial sector, which is total bullshit, hot air, and bad debts, from fucking up the real economy.

For one, we could start shredding off the 10B a week we spend in Iraq, and put it to good use on our economy...

[Anti.Hero]

That'd be great.

Are we going to stop sending 100s of billion dollars in foreign aid to everyone too?

Try 22 billion TOTAL for 2006, about 1/4 of which go to Israel and Egypt

Not quite "100s of billions". :rolleyes

Did we just not send 50 bil to Africa?

Has BarockOn not proposed sending 100s of billions to half global poverty in the upcoming years?

[RandomGuy]

Or if one would rather:

73 dollars per year for every US citizen is given as aid

for the same per citizen we spend

1733 dollars per year (assumes 10bn/week) for operations in Iraq.

I am unable to find current stats on US aid to africa. I would guess that the $50Bn figure is not correct. It may be a total figure from US and Europe, or a figure for "over 10 years" or similar.

We are competing for influence with the Chinese, who have stepped up their investments massively in the last few years.

We are also competing for survival. Time to cut the fat.

So Obama can send it to ACORN?????????:lol

China is sitting on an enourmous amount of cash. Do you really want Chinese firms owning 2/3 of Africa?

[ElNono]

That'd be great.

I wouldn't mind that. Leave it to philanthropists to help.
I don't mind sending aid when the economy is in great shape, but right now we need to prioritize.

I've got to hand it to Obama.
