What are they going to do about all the jobs that continue to go of shore ?
Big corporations continue to get tax breaks.
Why don't we stop the subsidy to the big corporations if they send jobs oversea?
The subsidy and the help to any country will be cut in half till we get out of the hall that we are in.

- ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) ?focuses on low-income housing, voter registration, the minimum wage and other issues.? The GOP likes to raise the specter that voter fraud is a problem because drives to register voters by such organizations tend to register people who don?t vote Republican, i.e. the young and the poor. ?The current ACORN controversy plays into these ideological perceptions which are heightened on the Republican side by Sen. Barack Obama's history as a community organizer and his campaign's payment of the better part of $1 million to a group affiliated with ACORN for campaign work, with ACORN getting $80,000 directly.? I personally think that ACORN is a remarkably effective and honest organization, and that if the banking industry in this country had adhered to ACORN standards of lending we wouldn?t be in the current financial mess. I have an ACORN brokered loan from Bank of America, and I had to meet very stringent requirements and show proof of income, employment, and ability to re-pay the mortgage loan for my first home. This is not how BofA or other mainstream banks normally function, based on my experience of being offered loans without any proof of income required. (quotes from the Swamp, Chicago Tribune)
