Obama. What change?

Can someone tell me what Obama wants to do?

Here is a PDF that outlines his blueprint for change:

....WOW

read page 45, the last part. Interpret what it means to you. I am just really curious who knows what it means.

It'd be easy to say the McCain is basically a upgraded model of George W Bush in stealth mode. Version 2.0 now comes with more brains (I mean come on, no one could ever be more stupider than Bush, even if they tried) with explosive temper and super-aggressive ideas, and the ability to continuously sing the words 'Bomb Iran' added as standard features. Might as well be satirical than angry about him, or my blood would boil too much.

The actual page 45 (labeled page 41) or the labeled page 45 (49)?

From everything I've read, he has some noble ideas... but every one of them involve spending another $20 billion here, another $50 billion there.

The country is already spending itself into bankruptcy. And even if he only raises taxes on the rich as he says, spending more money into circulation only increases inflation, and makes us all poorer. Gas prices go up higher, food prices go up higher, medicine goes up even higher. I know it sounds counter-intuitive, but throwing money at the poverty issue only results in more people living in poverty... because prices go up but the salaries of the people living just above the poverty cut-off line doesn't. Now, adjusting for inflation, they are impoverished too. And everyone else is a little poorer because they make the same money as before but can't buy as much with it.

His heart seems to be in the right place, but the only thing tax and spend accomplishes in the long run is more debt for the government and the people. But cut both -- and I mean substantially, not the token cuts John McCain calls for -- and the economy will soar.
