republicans are back at it again, the tax cut cycle continues indefinitely however. Not sure Obama needs to make a clear move here.

The rich dont create jobs the middle class and the poor people do our economy is 70 percent consumer spending when we dont have decent paying jobs we have no money to spend it doesnt matter how many businesses we have when people have no money to spend because we have no good paying jobs the have all been shipped overseas the only way to fix the problems in this country is to have public financing of campaings, bring back our conflict of interest laws for politicians, and get rid of the lobbyists

Now I am not a Democrat by any stetch of the imagination, but you guys that are blaming Obama for this mess need to get your heads out of McCain's butt. How in the world was Obama supposed to fix the mess W got us into in this short of a time period? It can't be done. It's real easy to sit on your couch and judge what the President is doing with the country, but the truth is you have no idea what you're talking about.

But I know the logic you use. Never let the truth get in the wy of a good argument.

Soon, we will look back on 2009 as "the good old days".

Problem isn't less spending by all guests, it's the high-end guests that are no longer here.

Thanks legislature!

Tax Cuts are the ONLY way to get out of this Obama created DEPRESSION wrote on October 27, 2009 04:18 PM: It is government spending that is holding back any recovery and causing more people to be unemployed. Obama and Reid and Pelosi have made a real mess of things. It's so bad it's called the Obama Depression, because Obama pushed the economy over the edge when he could have save it with reducing spending and massive cutting of taxes.

Wise move by Boyd Gaming.

The current economic environment is not conducive to growth.

Massive spending by the admin will lead to huge tax increases and the "free" healthcare will be paid by employers and employees alike on a scale unseen.

Is it any wonder everyone is cutting back and cunsumer confidence is the lowest in 3 decades.

Why the Economy Needs Spending, Not Tax Cuts

Now let's fast forward to the end of fiscal year 2009, which ended on September 30. According to CBO, it ended with spending at $3,515 billion and revenues of $2,106 billion for a deficit of $1,409 billion.

To recap, the deficit came in $223 billion higher than projected, but spending was $28 billion and revenues were $251 billion less than expected. Thus we can conclude that more than 100 percent of the increase in the deficit since January is accounted for by lower revenues. Not one penny is due to higher spending.

It should be further noted that revenues are lower to a large extent because of tax cuts included in the February stimulus. According to the Joint Committee on Taxation, these tax cuts reduced revenues in FY2009 by $98 billion over what would otherwise have been the case. This is important because the Republican position has consistently been that tax cuts and only tax cuts are an appropriate response to the economic crisis.
