Question US

GREAT ECONOMIC NEWS FOR WORKING AMERICANS -98% have received a tax cut.

right this time August 10, 2009 15:40:16

Nate Silver, the razor sharp statistician who consistently gets it right, has pointed out that taxes have now been cut for 98% of working Americans under the Obama Administration. Nate you may recall was one of the first analysts to not only predict an Obama victory but who pretty much nailed the margin and electoral count. He predicted Norm Coleman would lose the recount in Minnesota and that unemployment would not hit 10% nationally. Though Nate is a pretty humble guy who admits he is just as capable of being wrong I have yet to catch him being wrong on any important national political question. Using his considerable mathematical skills he repeatedly pokes holes in national polls which either contain a bias or which fail simple rules of mathematics. His recent research on Obama's tax cuts puts to rest more lies and disinformation being perpetuated by the wing nuts.
 Hooray! Obama's economic plan is starting to work.
I don't care if most of us did get a tax cut. I am just not ever going to say anything good about this guy.
You!

    My taxes have been raised on my everyday items so i would have to disagree. Obama already said it wouldn't hit 8% unemployed but now say it will hit ten. I could of told you obama was going to win. That is not brain surgery so what this poll got to do with anything. Other than disinforming people.

    A tax cut means I get more money in my pay check. Enough to actually appreciate. And then not having the same amount or more get paid out in higher taxes on things I buy. Therefore I have not gotten anything from Obummer, and it is going to get much, much worse!
    BTW...real nice biased answers, obama sheep!

    He is totally nerdy-wonky but the guy has razor sharp statistical skills when it comes to analysing political trends.

    I think the idiot who down-raved was the same one who blocked me.

    President Obama's plans are beginning to work and still all we hear are complaints. Go figure.

    Why do they hate this president so much?

    I think it is what the Republicans have been reduced to as a party. For instance they had 8 years to fix the problems of this country and even when they had all the power they ignored the economy, health care, global warming, energy independence and the environment and still spent most of their energy attacking liberals, progressives and Democrats. Hate is a hard drug to kick. Just ask Rush Limbaugh.

    I agree 100%. Nothing was done in all those years and yet President Obama is supposed to fix everything in just the few short months he's been in office.

    Remember, some were already calling it the Obama recession before he was even in office? Yeah, he was supposed to have it all fixed yesterday.

    I know. They've blamed him for the stimulus bill and that was being pu into place before the election. And now, at least in my state, the stimulus money is helping a lot of industries, I wonder will they give him credit for that?

    Want to take bets? Unfortunately the press for the most part has fallen into reporting this as if it is were one more political campaign between the parties. They seem to enjoy focusing on the smoke and noise more than the substance of where our country is and where change is needed.

    Lady, Please! Nothing that POS has done has done anyhting but make America weaker and deeper in debt. There have been NO jobs created. He cut the military budget while we are still fighting 2 wars. Jobs are still being lost at a rate of 247,000/month. He quadrupled the deficit in just 6 months. These are facts!
    The people of this country see through his shit screen and he cannot keep up with his own lies!

    Some people apparently look more deeply into the facts than others. If you voted for him then you understand what he is doing. But whether you voted for him or not it would be helpful to tone things down and give some things time to work out. We gave Bush eight years. It seems to me it would only be in the American sense of fairness to give this administration a couple of years before you start yelling that the sky is falling.

    Then you have a very broad definition of traitor. How many people in the previous administration would you also define as traitor? Bush? Cheney? Karl Rove? Rumsfeld? I'm just curious.

    Obama promised a tax cut but he didn't tell us he was going to increase our taxes on soda, cigarettes and electricity to name a few. To me it's a wash, at least until we start getting taxed for health care. Then we'll end up in the negative. Sounds like another empty promise to me.

    This information from a respected statistician was simply illustrating that contrary to a popular opinion out there the stimulus money did not go to bail out banks but went to ordinary working people. That's good news!

    Stimulus money didn't go to bailing out the banks? Please tell me you're kidding? How about all the pork Obama campaigned against? Millions of dollars went to the study of swine smell. WHAT????

    Check out this CNN report that lists ALL the banks who got bailouts. This money could have paid for the health "scare" reform Obama is trying to push through.
    Instead of bailing out the banks he should have bailed out the American people and stop blaming the past admin for everything.

    It is a common confusion right now because of all of the anti-Obama disinformation. The bank bail out was authorized by George Bush. That is not part of the Obama stimulus package. Have you googled Nate Silver yet?
  • Shayes right t... August 11, 2009 15:49:00 (edited)
    Shayes
    Googling now.....BRB!

    So after looking up Nate on wiki...he's respected by both CNN who is left leaning and Rasmussen who is seemingly right leaning. Now it comes down to the middle and what's the truth between all the reporting? I think between the 2 sides, left and right, we each have a piece of the puzzle. What do we do now, continue keeping score and name calling or do we try to amicably reach a solution?

    Also on Bush's bank bailouts you might want to go to www.npr.org and check out "Bank Bailout" or go to www.nbcwashington.com /Bush-Bank-Bailout or simply google Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 or go to wikipedia. God bless you.
