Sir;....I don't agree with a part of what Mr. Obama has done to save super capitalism...Capitalism is bad enough, but the big kind where wall street sits on its arse and collects the honey dew off the whole economy is not worth saving...He is one of them to me; same mind set, same formal understanding, same, same, same... So you say it has only been one hundred days... My bet is that we will have to listen to four more years if not eight of republican carping and crying and pesson and moaning... You guys must never grow tired of tantrums, and drying your own tears...You like majority rule when you have the majority, but cry, cry, cry when you don't...I agree...Majority rule bites...It has nothing in common with democratic self government...So it never has a commonly conceived goal that we all work out together... WE just have a whole bunch of different ideas of what freedom amounts to, and who has to sweat to make that happen...I think we are reaching a breaking point...I think a hand full of people can produce enough for all, but there is not enough profit in it to justify their employment, or support the government....What then?? Are we going to all print up imaginary money to spend???No matter how the cards are played, or how the deck is shuffled, there is no getting around the fact that capitalism does not work... You aren't going to make it work by carping and resisting Mr. Obama in trying to make it work...In stead, you do us all a service...You teach that since the economy does not work, that the political system that depends upon the economy cannot work, and will not be allowed to work...Right now we deficit spend... Where was Joeseph telling the president that the lean years some times eat up the fat years... Instead, in the fat years we squandered the fat, and even in the lean years we reduced the income of the government...Now that the government needs money, the right cries because they know the poor have nothing, and the rich having all must pay if the government will not fall... Let it fall...You can cry if you want, but societies stand too few rich better than too many poor...This country was created with certain and well defined goals, and not one of them was to make the rich richer and the poor poorer...That is just the way it has worked out, and the way the society has come to not work...Thanks...Sweeney

President Obama has asked for ideas to tighten governments' belts! Taxpayers, the few that have jobs left, would like to bring several critical issues to the table that would be a beginning to paying off trillions of dollars, borrowed without Taxpayers' consent, and put America back on track by 2035, if put into place immediately! Government should start running like a business; that is, President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer and a few good people that work, rather than sitting around occupying a seat and burning up dollars America doesn't have! Its' obvious, some of these greedy politicians have too much time on their hands and this is why the country has gotten in such dire need of change! Layoffs and job cuts have to be done! Its' time to cut politicians salaries and retirements to $12,000.00 yearly! Or better yet, take all politicians assets, pay off all the trillions they've borrowed and sell them a one-way ticket to the foreign countries they've sold America to! At no time have Taxpayers heard the words "we, the politicians that's driven America into bankruptcy, will cut our salaries and retirements!" What an insult to the small business owners, working and struggling to make ends meet while politicians continue towards the bankrupting of America! In the business world, salaries, benefits and jobs are being cut; therefore, its' time for cuts and layoffs in all phases of government, beginning with 'our public servants', that to date, have been servicing themselves and not for Americas' benefits! It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure why politicians created Nafta and Cafta, taking Americans' jobs and stability, thus causing a huge breakdown in society! Without textile and furniture manufacturing jobs, how would anyone be able to afford housing, furniture, clothes, autos, or anything else. Therefore, instead of government bailouts, handouts, Freddie, Fannie, HUD, AIG, Banks, Automakers, or any company in bed with government and politicians, these 'endless money pit programs' should be cut completely out, as so many of these 'politically motivated useless departments' have never worked! It's real chaos for America! 1977 started the downhill trend of spending, by all politicians, for social and welfare programs, and it has now put America in jeopardy! All these programs, including non-profit organizations, should be stopped immediately! Beginning with the cutting of aforementioned critical issues, 'Fair Tax', to include property taxes, should follow, as everyone that wants to be a responsible and constructive American must pay their fair share of taxes, and stop making it the burden of the cash-straped homeowner thats' barely getting by, since government intervention! Until government and politicians change their 'tax and spend' bad habits, step up to the plate and take responsibility for the bad debts created by you, 'politicians are not solving the problem' - 'they are the problem!'
