Veto the bill that will give illegal aliens social security
I'm astonished it is even being considered?! The system is already stressed, I am 20yrs away from receiving it yet the majority of my taxes get paid into this fund I wll never see a return on and now you want to give it to people that did not contribute, does not respect our country enough to take it as its first country and are here against the law.

Bank Bailout
Please do not continue to provide any bail out assistance to banks such as CHASE that are unwilling to work with customers in need of some help/bailout. Ummm...it is our money (taxpayers) and they are unwilling to share the help with us.

uptick rule
The SEC needs to change it's rules about shorting stock as it is going down. Former chairman Chris Cox allowed this change, which in my opinion, is part of the reason the stock market has been in a free fall. Stocks are an important investment tool for all Americans and this change will help re-instate confidence in the markets, and help stabalize our economy.

Suspending federal income tax
Suspending federal income tax on the working would allow the people of this country to fix the economical problem themselves. So much money is being wasted on a plan that ultimately will fail. Handing those of us who didn't make smart decisions will not fix the problem yet only extend the problem and eventually we will be right back to this place we're in now. Set a time period of suspension, give the people back their money and watch the economy grow.

Lower taxes by ending pension plans for government employees
The private sector has discontinued pension plans (and 401K matches) at most company's, yet the public sector still provides large pensions at the tax payers expense. It is time for the government to act responsibly and become lean like the private sector.

Spineless Clinton lapdogs not call US citizens cowards.
You and your appointees are burning more bridges than your preacher ever did. Appointing tax dodgers and unecessary slaps at the honor of those who put you in office. I am losing respect for your choices. We need someone to trust during difficult times. So far you get a D- from me.

Rove should testify under oath. No deals!
It is vital, crucial for our democracy that Rove be forced to testify under oath, especially concerning his alleged involvement in the Siegelman prosecution. This should not be allowed to get swept under the rug. We must ensure as a country that Rove is held accountable for the kinds of activities he has spearheaded or been a party to. The Obama administration has a moral obligation to honor Obama's campaign promises. I believe strongly that this should include accepting NO DEALS that allow Rove to escape testifying under oath.

Repeal Federal Tax Code begin 23% tax on all goods services
Our tax code is outdated and contains almost 700 million words that encompass volumes of books that experts have to study tiny bits of to make sense of one law. A simple 23% tax would eliminate this complex tax code and enforce taxation on all individuals, whether you are an alien or a drug dealer, you would be taxed for your goods and services. The government would benefit and be able to fortify its treasury and finally balance the budget in spite of the Bush Administrations raid on it.

Change bailout concept -create good bank instead of bad bank
Banks with their bad and sometime predatory lending practices are responsible for the artificial real estate price inflation and economic downturn. Those banks need to fail.
Instead of bailing out bad banks, government should step out and create a lending window (good bank), that will lend to small business and homeowners. Private capital can flow into the good bank, so government does not have to provide all the funds. The good bank can buy bad assets at market price and restore the mortages to the homeowners at more reasonable terms. Overemphasizing the importance of financial firms (which create no value,…1 vote -
Federal Grants
I think there needs to be an actual government website listing all the grants available to the people. What kind are available, where and how to apply and what critera needs to be met. There are many companys advertising they have this information but much of their information is outdated and all require a fee in addition to a monthly membership. This information should be free to the american people.

Allowing IRA Withdraw w/No Penalty
Has allowing citizens say 55+ years old withdraw up to perhaps $250,000 from their IRAs or other shelters with no tax penalty been considered as a remedy for stimulating the economy. Many would pay off their mortgages, purchase new residence, etc. thus putting money back in to the economy.

stimulus of the entrepreneur class
I have reviewed most of the stimulus package and the lion share remains allocated to public works projects and old economic development tactics. Where is the new ideas and investment behind the minds that will create sustainable value. Yes for my money, I want the return to be sustainable. Public works is a short term solution that lacks vision and real leadership.
