Obama worshippers...who do think will pay for all the social programs BO is proposing?

Yes, the tax payers always end up paying for everything. The stimulus checks, the BS social programs, and everything else. There is no such thing as "free money", which people fail to realize.

You are not going to get a good, solid, logical answer here. I've been trying for weeks and finally gave up.

I'll try at least.

All of these promises will be put on the back burner for his 1st term. And if he's able in his 2nd term, assuming he gets one, he'll try. He has a bad economy and two wars going on right now. That can't be reversed in a couple of months.

Now, the money saved by ending Iraq will not be enough to pay off the debt AND pay for these promises. That's what people don't seem to realize.

Obama and the Democrats promise away and do the best they can to fulfill them, but it never seems to happen. They know they have tough times ahead of them.

It is now common for corporations to renege on paying out promised pensions and benefits. Corporations file for bankruptcy and the courts expunge them from having to pay workers their long anticipated pensions. Corporations receive court protection from having to make pension payments. The State picks up the tab by making pension payments through the US Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. In other words, the people make up the shortfall by paying themselves. It is not surprising that corporations prefer the federal government picking up the pension tab. There are a huge number of baby Boomers with pensions, IRAs, TSAs ready to start collecting on their investments, annuities and Social Security. What great rewards corporations would accrue if these payouts were to simply disappear?

The capitalist mindset demands that all capital must be continuously in flux making more capital. Should the process fail, the working class is always called upon to make up for it through the sweat of their labor. Those who create all the wealth always bail out those who exploit them. Guaranteed security for the working class is anathema to the owning class. Exploitation cannot take place where a social safety net exists. Manipulation of the working class is more difficult when workers have options. Eliminate the social safety net; what better way to avoid having to make the payouts than to bankrupt the entire economic system? A profound depressing of the economy facilitates the probability that pension payouts will not have to take place at all. In other words, let the big meltdown happen so all obligations to the working class can be expunged. Let the markets crash and let the cycle start over. This is the "boom and bust" that is the signature of capitalism. The bust, as Marx predicted, must take place as a result of capitalist contradictions. The system reverts to salvage operations as the working class is destroyed.

Yep its a nasty cycle. Raise the taxes on the companies, the companies raise taxes on products and cut back on employee salary/ employees in general. Consumers, employees, former employees have to go get welfare. Its a great plan.

The question can't be answered because it's not specific enough. It's a cartoon characterization of the rights view of Obama's plans. No specific legislation has been drafted and no specifics on budget cuts have yet been made by Obama.

Who is going to pay for all the programs? Hmmm, got a mirror handy?

Go look in the mirror, it's you and millions of other's in the U.S. that are going to be footing the bill for all these programs.

The same people who bailed out Wall St & are going to wind up buying GM, Ford & Chrysler.

tax payers usually pay for government funded social programs. who foots the $10 billion bill in iraq each month?

The money will just magically appear. Oh, and they are talking about taking our 401k's again.

This question is soooo easy to answer.

We'll just print more money!

DUH????
