If the President and Congress really wanted to jumpstart our economy they would pass legislation to partially / fully forgive any/all outstanding college loans. With additional spendable income many of these college grads would either spend more on durable goods or save it for down payments on homes, cars or other large ticket items.

Politicians must let the Bush tax cuts expire. Period!

With 6 members of the Walton (Walmart) family owning more wealth than the combined wealth of the bottom 30% of the American Population (6>100,000,000), the time has come to tax wealth, not income.

Why should we have United States Tennis Association championship tournaments where we don't use American Made tennis balls. We should be using American made products and promoting "American Made" at all sporting events. But lets start with Tennis.

To reform income tax fairly and simplify rules.

Lowering the current deficite appears to be the focus of the current Congress and Senate. They are hell bent on cutting the programs that assist many during this economical downfall. If they are as serious as they claim they are they should start with their salary's. If they expect us all to make concessions then they should lead by example and start with their salary.

Best Buy has the worst return policy in America, PERIOD! I recently visited my local Best Buy store in Roseville, Michigan to return a gift that was paid for with cash and I was given the receipt. I thought this would be a quick in and out. However, I was told that because the item was more than 30 days I could not return the item. What is worse is that I was not able to exchange or get in-store credit for the item and was basically told to get lost. Now I am forced to sell my gift on ebay at a loss and Best Buy keeps the profit!

Elected officials should not make commitments or promises to lobbyists or other politically motivated entities that obligate them to compromise thier duties to their constituents or to the nation. Many elected officials have done just that by signing the "Taxpayer Protection Pledge" which obligates them to oppose all efforts to raise taxes or eliminate deductions not matched by further tax reductions regardless of the needs of the nation. By signing this pledge we, as the electorate, tell them that abdicating their responsibilities is unacceptable.

Verizon Wireless, the country’s largest cellphone company, said Thursday that it will start charging $2 for every payment subscribers make over the phone or online with their credit cards. Verizon said this “convenience fee’’ will be introduced Jan. 15. This is a blatant show of greed on Verizon's part. As consumers we are fed up and will not pay an added fee just to pay our bill.

Dear MoveOn Members: This morning's news: Mitt Romney now proposes to that organizations like National Public Radio (NPR), PBS, the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities be funded through paid advertisements and through private support from charities, exclusively. The facts are: 1) paid advertising goes completely against the intent and spirit of NPR and PBS and is the principal reason that programming on NPR and PBS remains relatively free from corporate influence. It can be argued that such influence would cause many worthwhile programs to evaporate due to corporate influence; 2) the nation's charities already give generously to NPR and PBS, while federal funds support the NEA and NEH. To ask our nation's already stressed charities to additionally fund work that, in many instances, they are ALREADY funding, is outrageous; and 3) the combined budgets of all FOUR of these organizations is a very, very small portion of the federal budget. Before we talk about cuts to these organizations, Gov. Romney, let's talk about cuts to the military and the many, many questionable subsidies and tax breaks given to any number of industries in this country.
