>>We have the same problems up here to... but then mirrored. Whenever the left is over spending and the government goes into increased debt, the right has to clean up the mess. In the US the roles seems just to be mirrored. You don't have to be an intellectual to see it. Just release yourself from the R bias and look at the financial (debt) facts. They don't lie.

>I am not a rich guy. If Obama doesn't renew the Bush tax cuts, it will cost me about 4,000 per year, or so I am told. So, you argument doesn't hold water. Obama has a rough road ahead. I wish him well.

I heard him say that he will decrease taxes for 90% of the people, but he will higher the taxes for the ones earning more than 250.000 a year (though I have seen claims that to be lower). IOW, tax the rich more. So it seems to me, you might be better off (unless you're making more than that amount)
