How did you find my post?! Second, "being nonprofit doesn’t necessarily mean nonbiased" COUGH COUGH ACORN COUGH! Third, I couldn't agree with you more. I am not sure why, but it seems like no main stream media will ask the question you proposed an answer to - how are WE going to pay for everything Obama claims to be necessary?

Why do they assume we'll be spending $50 billion more per year in Iraq under McCain than under Obama? In an August 29 press release, this "committee" -- a front for the New America Foundation financed by the Pew Charitable Trusts - claims that $55 billion peace dividend plus "closing tax loopholes and tax havens and cutting spending on ineffective and inefficient government programs. . . could reduce the budget gap by between $200 and $250 billion, according to the analysis." That really means according to Obama's advisers. To claim such big revenues from closing loopholes and trimming waste is just smoke and mirrors. Obama's plans for big spending and tax rebates, on the other hand, are not vague and not cheap.
