It will be interesting to see where the net worth is at the end of 2008 (home values dropping, stock market going down, prices going up). They also should subtract the additional 5 trillion that the government has paid out, but put on the deficient instead of having Americans pay more taxes.

I also like Nader's plan to tax short-term capital gains at a higher rate. Hopefully that will push investors to become more long-term and there won't be as many sharp fluctuations. Obama talked about it back in March, I'm surprised nobody has brought it up. Ben Smith's Blog - Politico.com
His plan makes sense to me, but I would think tht it would cause a large part of the country to dislike him if it happened.

I'm not sure what he will actually be able to get done and what he actually wants to get done. Both for financial and political reasons.
