Obama "comes through"?

  Well Obama says that he is taking the troops out of Iraq but much of this is because Iraq is not going to give our troop immunity after 12/31/11. 

999 was a video game tax plan reference.

  Sim City 4 had in the programming a "999 tax plan".  Cain denies that it's connected but that's pretty funny.  He also quoted "a poet" that turns out to be words from Donna Summers' "Pokemon: the movie 2000".  Gotta catch them all!  Click here to read more. 
  Cain took the pledge to not raise taxes but the 9-9-9 plan would be a huge increase to people making under $120,000 and people in the higher incomes would save a lot in taxes.  The poor have little or no disposable income after paying for necessities but we're going to raise their taxes way up?  The disposable income for those making over a million is way more than the middle class and yet they are to get a big cut.

Romney is a big spender

  Romney has made a very hawkish speech about spending more or military and expanding the navy.   We spend as much as the rest of the world combined and need to shrink this substantially.  To advocate spending even more, when we spend many times what the 2nd largest military spends, is just irrational.  Here is a piece on Romney's speech: click here.     He wants to expand naval ship production more than 50% from 9 ships per year to 15.  An example of how silly this is: In the world there are 23 carriers.  We have 11 of them but ours are all 2-4 times bigger than all but a couple.  UK has 1.  France has 1.  Russia has 1.  Click here for a listing of them on wiki.   It's just indefensible.

Debit cards

  Bank of America is going to start charging $5/mo. for months you make debit purchases in.  Other banks will probably follow so there may not be a point in moving.  Debit card purchases are not as well protected as credit cards so maybe it is best if you switch to credit cards anyway.
