Actually, Obama is still $200 billion ahead plus whatever McCain spends on health care. |
Until either campaign revises there plans we have to take them at their word at what their budgets would be.
Even if you were going to cut so much for "overpromising" it seems like nothing more then bias to just assume Obama is "overpromising" more then McCain.
I think it's very possible to track down about what each of their stated government budgets are going to be but it would take more research then i'm willing to put in right now. I'd have to look harder at for example their energy plans, for example.
As for the tax cuts... yeah... and it generally fits with my own thinking on taxes.
When times are bad and unemployment is high... cut the tax of buisnesses and the rich as they can use that money to create more jobs that people need do to the high unemployment. Not always great jobs... but there jobs. Keep the companies up so more jobs are lost.
When times are good... tax the crap out of said companys since they can afford it.
Raise taxes on companies when the economy is bad and they either have to cut jobs or go out of buisness putting everyone out of work.
Lower taxes on companies when the economy is doing good and they get new profit expectations that are higher and feel a need to hoard more money... and also have to get greedier to meet those goals leading to them taking riskier moves and getting unbalanced.
