Reply #7: Let's get more sober and end the wars. [View All]

Obama's budget is lower than the nearly "$190 billion the nation budgeted for Iraq and Afghanistan last year".

Let's just get out of there and save lives and money.

"Obama also seeks to increase tax collections, primarily by making good on his promise to eliminate the temporary tax cuts enacted in 2001 and 2003 for wealthy taxpayers, whom Obama defined during the campaign as those earning more than $250,000 a year. Those tax breaks would be permitted to expire on schedule for the 2011 tax year, when the top tax rate would rise from 35 percent to more than 39 percent."

Stop those taxbreaks for the wealthy now.
