The key word in the promise is INCOME. Income taxes won’t go up. Just wait for the other taxes, though. Energy taxes, “carbon” taxes, any other environmental tax they can think of.

We either have very high taxes or a new currency comming. My Guess is that sooner or later we will spend our way into being forced into a new currency that is more of a global dominated form that the Chinese back (as they are the our land lords). I just don’t get what most people are thinking the pres has great approval ratings on the economy and he is creating a hole that will be very hard to get back out of for many years to come.

The government needs to budget just like all American families are forced to do. Don’t spend more than you make, & don’t take what isn’t yours.

Really scary stuff, but what currently concerns me are the pension programs,and 401k’s that have been decimated. Retiree’s,and pensioneer’s are looking at substantial income losses that they count on ,and perhaps have already spent coming home to roost. This perhaps could be the next leg down,and perhaps even breaks the bank! (Ref:pensiontsunami.com) What is your take,Brian? Thanks Brian(:

Obama is not bound by anything other than his inflated opinion of himself and his own self interest. Trust me, he has his fingers crossed whenever he says anything that resembles a “promise”. Just because he doesn’t have rattles, doesn’t mean he doesn’t speak with forked tongue.

Brian here’s something that I’ve been catching on the local am talk radio show. Every Monday,on the air,the two local cohosts, have bashing letters writers to the Vicksburg Post. I kid you not. Well the local hosts show thier biases for the mayor whose up for reelection. Now the letters to the editor dealt with the fact that VPD has been writing speeding tickets. Whenever someone trys to show their version–they local hosts go on a basha campaign against the letter writers. They criticized a former local who lived here who was visiting all becouse the patrol cars have been siting around; the hosts and cohost try to show that Vicksburg Police Dept. is better than the metropolitian police force. But this afternoon I wonder how the local cops would deal with narcos from across the border in mexico. After all Vicksburg Ms isn’t too far from the tex/mex border.

We middle class have a tax increase to look forward to, we are not naive! My pick for Prez in 2012 is Paul Ryan, a true Conservative.
