Comments on: Letter to the Editor: McCain, Palin offer economic stability; Obama, only ambiguous promises http://collegian.csufresno.edu/2008/09/08/letter-to-the-editor-3/ Serving California State University, Fresno since 1922.

McCain himself said earlier in the campaign that he didn't know much about the economy, but then quickly backtracked once those comments were made. His economic advisor called America "a nation of whiners" because people are complaining about the economy. Those are not answers or solutions. McCain offers 4 more years just like the last 8. And anyone who looks at the way the economy has tanked in the last 8 years knows that we can't afford another 4 years of the same. Barack Obama has the right plan. He's giving tax cuts (averaging about $1,400 a year) to those who make LESS than $250,000 a year. That's everyone I know! McCain, on the other hand, only cares about rich people. McCain said in August that he believes a person is "middle class" if they make less than $5 MILLION a year! McCain is out of touch... and I'd never vote for someone who doesn't know how many homes he owns. Go Obama / Biden ! It’s ridiculous to think that McCain offers economic stability.

Obama intends to heavily tax those who make more than $250,000 per year (boo hoo). McCain plans to keep the current tax cuts that are set to go through 2010, I believe. I think Obama intends to keep those through 2010 but not to extend them. I'm not sure which speech you watched. Obama definitely said what he plans to change. He might not have spelled out exactly how he plans to make it all happen but his plan for this "change" was at least defined in a big way. Also, when talking about alternative fuels, McCain's economic plan offers no extra funding, while Obama intends to invest heavily in it. McCain has steered clear of talking about the economy other than saying his opponent would raise taxes. If this current economy is "stable" I'm not sure I want stability.
