Don't worry, John McCain plans to improve the economy by cutting taxes for the rich because it's working so well for Bush.

It amazes me that the Republicans keep reviving that failed theory of econ.

Tickle down economics, has been tried three times and failed three times, and STILL they insist it is a viable policy.

Well it works well enough for their masters, I suppose.

Drill baby drill and you'll see that number cut in half. Or inflate your tires and see it double. Your choice.

Evidence: it takes workers to drill and build things.

Are you proposing more government jobs?

lets see, i believe the workforce is at about 138 million. at 6.1%, that puts unemployment at 8,418,000. so you think drilling will create 4.2 million jobs? and not drilling will destroy another 8.4 million?

Drill, transport, build pipelines, spend money in the US instead of in the Middle East. What part of economic growth don't you understand? Oh, that's right, you're a Democrat.

if anwr were opened up, BP would get the contract is what i read, because they are the ones there with the contract/equipment in the northern slope....not even an American company....that's quite disconcerting to me.....

which means our oil and our natural gas brought up will STILL BE part of the biggest transfer of wealth to foreigners in our history...

oil then goes on the global market, in a drip by drip method, not much added on the world oil supply when all said and done either....

same with the gulf opening up....any foreign oil company can get the lease, still transfering our wealth to them....?

i don't see how this helps us?

economic growth? we're just talking about jobs here. and yet you have no evidence to show that your estimated # of jobs will be created. but keep pretending you have

You think BP only hires Brits, and all those workers have food and shelter flown in from Europe?

Obviously you don't know the first thing about economics, and I am unwilling to educate you simply for the purpose of debating you.
