Re: rate cuts
[Read the article: Easy money days are here again?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It is interesting to note that many people have not made the connection, that all this tax money that Bush and his cronies keep putting back into the economy through tax returns and rate cuts do nothing for the average american. A rate cut means nothing to the average american because those rates do not "trickle down" to the consumer, instead the consumer is still faced with rising interest rates and fees as well a sinking dollar and rising fuel, food, housing, health and insurance costs. Not to mention that despite all the aid flowing to big corporations, it will not equal guaranteed jobs. The average worker is still likely to find his job cut, off shored, as well any guarantees to adequate health care or any meaningful severance package unless they are the very fortunate few on the boards of a mega corporation. So what does this say about the conservatives "trickle down economics?" And when are the nut-jobs who continue to support these shysters going to get it, probly about the time they find themselves looking for a cheap apartment to rent after they lost their home to foreclosure. Or maybe when they discover that their money is not worth the paper it is printed on and that Bin Laden's family is building their new mini mall down the street. Well at least Americans obesity problem will finally be solved because no one will be able to afford to drive their SUV, to the local fast food joint and they will have to walk to work or at least to the bus stop.

Obama or Clinton
[Read the article: Obama can't close the deal ]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I really do not give a whit who becomes the democratic nominee. I am one of the voters who would have preferred edwards or kucinich. Yeah, I would really like to have a candidate who stood firmly on the peoples and planets side. And considering that both Clinton and Obama are supporters of "clean coal" that's a oxymoron if there ever was one, I will grit my teeth and support who ever the dem nominee happens to be. I just hope that the one lesson we can learn from the republicans is to stand together and support unequivocally our democratic nominee and vote together to end the disaster that the republicans have brought to our nation and world.
