Fact Check: How State of Union Compares With Reality…
Some random thoughts:
- First impression: Great delivery, as usual. The Prez is always good at that part.
- Good overview of the issues facing the Union.
- Small business ideas sound promising: “eliminate all capital gains taxes on small business investment” in particular
- Probably will be attached to some other laws restricting other free market principles or only provide this to ‘qualifying’ investments (like alt energy, etc etc)
- Good stuff, I hope he meant it and is willing to take the steps to make it reality: “I do not accept second-place for the United States of America”
- This will happen with a dollar debasement or protectionist policies: “We set a new goal: We will double our exports over the next five years, an increase that will support two million jobs in America.”
- I’m all for this, but will we hold teachers, principals and school boards responsible? Also, why not provide 100% education tax credits to parents who choose a non-public school? : “instead of rewarding failure, we only reward success. Instead of funding the status quo, we only invest in reform – reform that raises student achievement, inspires students to excel in math and science”
- Did Tim Geithner just race over to the State of the Union after testimony on AIG today? Seriously Tim you should have had a back up shirt from the cleaners. This is the frickin’ sate of the Union dude!: http://abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=9681933
- Glad border security got so much coverage: “to secure our borders” – sounds like a great plan.
- “No wonder there’s so much cynicism out there.” – You don’t say….
- Conclusion: Same faces in Washington, means not much will change.
