It is still early but as I pointed out in the other thread he has done much worse than I expected. Raising taxes on lower income groups and appointing tax cheats to his cabinet are among things I did not expect.
It was sad yesterday watching his Treasury Secretary Geithner testifying in front of congress in regards to revenue. When asked if he was going to try and collect the billions of taxes uncollected from tax cheats he indicated that the administration was going to get tough on those who evade their tax obligations. I swear, it looked like he was almost chuckling to himself as he said it.
Also I'm not convinced the trickle down economics of the Stimulus Package will do much good. Perhaps they should try trickle up economics for a change. With all the corruption at the federal, state and local levels, giving aid directly to people instead of through their government overseers might do more for the economy.
