Chatter, are you trying to freak me out more than I already am. BTW, my neice and her husband both got laid off. I don't like what I'm seeing and hearing and I don't find what he said comforting one little bit.
Don't be freaked out, Dakota. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Things may not be easy for a while, but then they wouldn't have been easy with McCain either. The problems exist no matter who was elected.



No, the problems exist at their base but are magnified by the promised tax hikes. McCain would not have raised taxes.

McCain would have lowered taxes on businesses. Which would have helped to create more jobs, even with consumer spending down (which is what it should be anyway - people have been overextending themselves in this country for years). And when Obama lets the Bush tax cuts expire in 2010, every single person & business in this country making over $10,000 per year will have their taxes increased. And he has promised to let them expire. So business AND consumer taxes will go up. In a recesssion. Economics 101, you don't do that. McCain wanted to make the tax cuts permanent.
