Obama And The Money In Your Wallet

August 11th, 2008 · No Comments

For 2007, the National Journal ranked him the Senate’s No. 1 liberal with a score of 95.5 percent. This put Obama to the left of Senator Bernie Sanders (Independent-Socialist – Vermont) who rated a marginally more conservative 93.7.

The National Taxpayer’s Union calculates that Obama’s policy prescriptions would balloon annual federal spending by $343.6 billion. Presumptive Republican nominee John McCain would boost yearly outlays by a more modest $68.5 billion. Obama recently embraced Congress’s atrocious $307 billion farm bailout. McCain condemned it.

Can this country afford Obama? Can you afford him?
