Obama considers keeping Bush tax cuts in effect
2008-09-08
Democrat Barack Obama says he would delay rescinding President BushÂ’s tax cuts on wealthy Americans if he becomes the next president and the economy is in a recession, suggesting such an increase would further hurt the economy.

Those would be the same "irresponsible" tax cuts which "cost the nation over $2.3 trillion" and are so bitterly condemned on Obama's campaign website, would they not?

#8  jobs are being lost.

Heavy in the media industry from what I hear. That's known as a technical correction.

#7  We may not technically be in recession, Oldcat. But that doesn't change the fact that inflation is increasing and jobs are being lost. Obama's previous support of raising taxes would be a stake in the heart to a trouble economy.

#6  Of course, as everyone knows and Obama will discover on January 21, we are NOT in a recession even now.

Just like Bill Clinton's "I tried so hard, but I can't give a tax cut like I promised"

#3  Hope and Change? Obama still HOPES that the voters won't notice that his positions continually CHANGE.
