In the US this economy has been hard on us all. More people have been layed off since the bail outs. And those who still work have higher taxes to pay for them. These programs that are supposed to create jobs have been costing more jobs than they create. I don't know what the economy is doing to people in other country's but from what I hear it's not good.

good grief, it seems everyone is having trouble keeping a job these days.
i'm still "employed", but i haven't gotten any hours since january.
my parents really want me to get a new job just to get me out of the house more than anything. XDD

No hours since Jan? Ouch. My friend got layed off because he's going away to school next week and his boss thought he might be able to get unenpoloyment for the interm, but he refuses to go through the motions of looking for a job.
Obama is using our money on what he wants not on what the country needs. He is using his power to put his friends in power. Creating Czars, he gives out government positions to unqualified people. Bails out his friends business with our money. He isn't cleaning up the mess, he is making it worse. His programs are costing allot of jobs. He isn't doing what he promised he is just doing what he wants.
But Don't hate him, hate what he is doing, but do not lower yourself to hating the man. To hate anoter human being harms you not them.

you might want to do some research on his actions for yourself online and form your own opinions instead of going along with your parents.
he is using this "nonexistant money", but he's trying to use it to get the US out of debt by spurring the economy.
we've been in a downward spiral from gwb. real estate is dropping, companies are going out of business left and right, and millions of people are losing jobs.
and all of this is only making the economy worse and worse.

There is also the Internet, news papers and radio. I don't watch, most 'Mainstream news sources', they tend towards major liberalism. I try to find different sources. Try not only reading their sites but also find people who are conservatives, and centralist.
And I have read and heard several opinions of Obama's actions, and I agree that he is spending our nonexistent monies on his own pet projects.
GWB was bad, Obama is worse.

I'm not even stepping into this debate on healthcare beyond this: My husband may have lived a little longer if we were able to afford healthcare. We lost our plan when he was laid-off from a contract, and his pre-existing conditions made it impossible to find another private plan. He earned too much and wasn't disabled enough to qualify for Meicare. He was only 42 when he died and his doctors told me that IF we could have afforded the care and meds, he could have lived longer.
This big plan of Obama's is not for free healthcare, it's low cost - similar in many ways to Medicare. People who earn below $250k will not be taxed for it. Please take the time to read what the plan is - the bill or the information that is being presented by Congress and the White House. Trust me, I pay enough in taxes and prefer self-reliance to welfare, but this situation here needs to be properly addressed without all the fear and hype.

elmira, it's sad that you lost your husband because of the lack of affordable healthcare, so i'm deeply sorry for that.
i know exactly where you're coming from. none of my household has a steady enough job to get healthcare from it, so we went to apply for private insurance, but they denied us because of my mother and brother having several pre-existing health problems (easily taken care of with medication).
luckily, texas has a healthcare pool, which is expensive, but at least we have health insurance.
