How will Obama fund all of these programs?

I see on his website programs to pay for 1) college tuition, 2) job training for "ex-offenders", 3) substance abuse and mental health counseling for "ex-offenders", 4) programs to help retrain workers, 5) double funding for research, 6) assistance to auto industry, 6) a mortgage credit... and so on. It's just a small bit of what's on the website (with no explanation as to how it will happen, just that it will), but how will all of this be funded, besides the obvious tax hikes?

Update:

Absinth - I'm with you. I was thinking of quitting my job, collecting unemployment and welfare, declaring my child has a disability and sending my (now) unemployed husband out to commit felonies.

Update 2:

Willbmusic - I'm changing sides to the non-working poor side.

    He is trying to cover all his bases...Saying he will do this and do that...Just wait...If he gets in office nothing will change...We need someone who will actually take a stand and not be a suck up...Someone who will do the right thing and not just say the right things...Sorry, I dont think Obama is the right person for this job and I think he is in a dream world when it comes to funding all theses "great programs"..Why all the help for the ex-offenders...Is anyone going to help us middle class workers who are out busting our a$$ and still cant afford insurance...Who is one step away from lossing their home...Who considers quitting their job because they cant afford to drive to work...All of this is just great and grand but is their a politician who is telling the truth? I dont think so...they are all saying what they think we want to hear

    The military and homeland security will be reduced. Tax hikes will be across all tax brackets above $11K a year. I suspect there are several social programs that don't target his desired audience that will have to go.

    Good Luck all

    Taxes are the only way these things can be paid for. Personally, I am thinking of committing felonies and going to jail, because life will be a lot easier when I get out of jail than if I stayed out of jail.

    with your and my taxes.

    yet there are bigger issues than this;

    Obama stands for Islam and falls for biggotry.

    If your a democrat standing against the Bible and for their liberal line, for most Mr Slick Bill Clinton who lied to each one in America and disgraced us to the whole world is their hero.

    Now maybe #2 help terrorism, give Iraq terrorist their land and oil fields to help finance the destruction of America.

    Obama is the man that put his money into the antiGod anti America Anti white "God 'd' America, who deserved 9/11 for being a 'terrorist' nation seems to be their second choice.

    Jesus is still the answer, in amazing grace and salvation John chapter 3; repent of sins, and let Jesus into our heart's door, to be our friend and leader, and be born again, amen. Then we will come to the more abundant life he promises in John 10

    "but how will all of this be funded, besides the obvious tax hikes?"

    Most of it will never be funded because the congress won't pass unfunded requirements. Most of this is just Election year pandering anyway. If he gets into office, watch how fast he backtracks on this stuff.

  • with your money!

    in his grandmas town in kenya, they have a school named after him.

    Its not open!, they said in the news story they are waiting for funding that will come from obamas GPB being enacted.

    thats where he plans on adding 846 billion more dollars to our tax money to give to africa under the global poverty act.

    Out of your and my pockets. Where else is supposed to get it. Heaven forbid him ever give ANY money to the poor out of his own pocket. It would take away from his ill-gotten riches.

    Through the taxes that he is going to raise and wealth distribution he will force. He's a politician, of course he isn't going to say "how," he is simply getting people to drink his Kool-Aid craving for hand-outs so they can become even more lazy.
