That works out to about $83 a month. Is $1000 a year even enough to call it relief? That works out to about $83 a month.

It happened while she was battling cancer. It's unclear whether his wife knew of this affair. At any rate, Edwards lied to the public. I always thought there was something about Edwards that made me distrust him, like a used car salesman quality. Did you catch the story on John Edwards cheating on his wife?

Let's set aside whether it's unjust. I don't remember seeing any rationale or research provided to the public. This fact upsets and turns me off from Obama because when politicians give incomplete information it becomes blatantly obvious that the idea is meant to be a gimmick to sway votes rather than a carefully thought out solution.

There are a lot of ways to enhance the economy, but I don't think this is a good one. Eventually the costs will get passed back to the consumer, and ultimately, the taxpayers. The government simply can't increase revenues while cutting taxes, it's just not mathematically possible. 3 months until the election... I think this will be an interesting few months. :) I’m not a big fan of the idea either. There are a lot of ways to enhance the economy, but I don’t think this is a good one.

You just have to look at their platforms and see which ones matches your top 5 priorities. No candidate will ever be perfect. Get used to limited choices for all levels of public office elections.
