John Edwards and his wife were in the audience. A show of Democrat unity ...

This speech was the scariest of all so far. Some (still not enough) specifics (in fact the political pundits and the news media are commenting on that right now) but more than before.



>>I'm listening to his speech and he just called for a 2nd stimulus plan (in addition to the IRS checks that are going out) to stimulate the economy.
>>
>>Hey hey hey... am I going to get 900.00 more dollars of my own money back? :o) Fine with me!
>>
>>He's talking about more money to the public now - money to struggling home owners, money to folks who have already lost their homes, money to those who cannot afford to attend college, money to help pay for gas, and more. Hmmmm, now I'm wondering: where is it all going to come from?
>>
>>He's off that and on to healthcare now...(did you know that half of all personal bankruptcies are caused by medical care debts?)
>>
>>his list:
>>
>>lower cost per family
>>no more high prescription costs
>>no more denying pre-conditions
>>(promised to accomplish it during his first term)
>>
>>Now he's on to the tax code reform he wants:
>>
>>no more tax cuts or tax breaks because they only benefit the rich (he used the tax cuts Exxon receives as an example)
>>
>>Now he's speaking on taxing large corporations to pay for the increasing energy costs, saving social security, and removing income for seniors earning less than 50,000/yr (I like that last one).
>
>Ahh a true Democrat.
>
>Hand out money (hopefully make it an entitlement) and tax anyone who isn't living off it yet.
