 * //__Economic Issues:__//**
 * 1) Dependent on imports-too little exports
 * 2) Taxes are too high (increasing more every year)
 * 3) Constant inflation (this year has greatest amount of inflation ever recorded in U.S.)
 * 4) As of 2004, 11 percent of whites, 20 percent of blacks, 18 percent of asians, and 33 percent of hispanics were uninsured
 * 5) Public debt at an all time high. Debt clock maxed out.
 * 6) Using too many fossil fuels, need to use greener reusable sources for gasses and energy.

In our nation, we encounter many economic issues like how we are too dependent on foreign imports putting us in debt to other countries, some of which are at war with us so we are basically giving our enemies money. We are also increasing taxes on people who can hardly afford to keep there housing now. So how are they supposed to afford anything. Especialy with the current inflation now with the rise of gas prices and other goods, this only puts more pressure on the middle and lower class people. Also, over 10% of each of the major ethnic backgrounds in our country are without insurance or health care and public debt is at a national all-time high. We are also using to many unrenewable sources for energy and gas that; 1 we can't afford, and 2 are hurting our environment. And now we have to spend money on trying to find ways to fix the environmental problems leading into a whole nother crisis.

__//**Rebuttal**//__ One problem with Obama's economic plan is that he wants to increase overall taxes but especially on higher class people (financially). Why should people pay more just because they EARN more. That is like asking them to pick up for other peoples slack just because the other people don't use their talent and ability to find good jobs with good pay.(no offense). He also wants to completely eliminate taxes for seniors which isn't necessarily bad but those extra taxes are either added to the tax load of the higher class citizens or are taken out of our appropriations which we need to pay back any international debt we may have. Obama's inflation problem is that if he wants to decrease the taxes, then how will we be able to afford these greener sources. We are already in enough trouble with debt we don't need it more. It would also be difficult to use trees or other natural sources in our own countries because then we will be losing trees which help us breathe and also are used for so many other things like money and paper.

__Economy__- LET McCAIN RELEIVE YOUR PAIN! __**Issues-**__ We face many issues today here in America about the economy. We rely too much on foreign products and we owed $16.3 trillion to other countries estimated during end of 2006. We also rely too much on foreign oil and the money is going to foreign countries and terrorist organizations. We don't produce enough products in our own country so we have to borrow from other countries. Our total imports from other countries are around 1,469,667, and total exports to other countries are about 817,939. As you can see we have products made more from other countries than we do here in U.S. Also, the main issue that all Americans face today are high gasoline and food costs, that made most of us deficit of money. Plus, the public debt had gotten worse since September 2007, therefore we owe a total of $9.67 trillion to other people. Many people and families are poor or in severe debt. A lot of people has lost their job or are going to lose their job. Inflation is raising prices to unheard numbers, especially on things such as oil and taxes. These taxes are high and are continuely spiraling upward. Taxes are raising which causes banks and other companies to go down causing people to lose their jobs and homes. The government is heavily taxing small compaines, not allowing them to possibly grow into larger compaines and create new jobs.

All of these issues add up to families being in debt and a lot of people being without jobs. Our economy is headed in the wrong direction. Possibly, even in the direction of a depression. There is way to many unemployed people. Our debts are countinuosly piling up to unumaginal numbers. We depend on foreign countries and worry about what's going on in our country way too much. Also, taxes are way to high. Many familes are deep in debt. Also, several have around just about in debt and tons have recently entered debt. The only way fror them to get out of that debt is for them to get jobs, lower taxes, have the government pay the, out of debt with other people's money, or a combination of those reasons.
 * __Problems-__**

I will help solve our many problems with one fell-swoop. John McCain will lower America's dependency on foreign oil. I want to lower it by creating nucleur power plants here in the U.S. so that we can get what we need from our own country. I want to build more nucluer power plants. Approxitmentley 45,000 plants will be made by 2030 creating 700,000 new jobs for the unemployed. This will lower gas prices for everyone. This will lower our foriegn dependency, but also will get us away from using gas and toward other "greener" sources that are cleaner and better for our enviornment. He also will still use oil, but it will be American oil. I believe that we should still try and drill in Alaska to look for oil. I want to make a day during the summer where people cut back on buying gas for the day. I want to relief to reliance and idependece on gas and oil and use nucleur power more. He will commit 2 billion dollars every year to make cleaner resources like coal. This will give a lot of jobs to areas of people that don't have one. I will encourage the use of alternative, low carbon fuels such as wind, hydro and solar power. I want to support small businesses and lower the high costs of energy that really hurt the small businesses. He will lower Americans high taxes. They are very high, and many people are struggling to pay them. I am going to cut everyone's taxes by 23%.
