highway213 - you mean the Obama that, as a state senator, voted YES on a bill that would have banned nearly every hunting rifle, shotgun and target rifle owned by Illinois citizens?

The "tax shift" this group is proposing is in reality a sales tax increase on goods you buy with no meaningful property tax reductions. Do you really think any state with a budget deficit would let a REDUCTION in revenue go through ?

It really is sickening to hear about the $1 salary offer and to hear it constantly being reported in the media. Pandering and trying to sway American public opinion with the $1 salary (they never mention their millions in stock options they'll also receive), is genuninely insulting.

Bernanke and the Federal Reserve do not have the ability nor the knowhow to save the economy. If they did, they would not have created artifically low interest rates for the past several years which helped to create the subprime mortgage disaster. Not to mention, just months ago, they were claiming the fundamentals of the economy were "solid".
