Analysis: Obama won't try for McCain's budget goal

WASHINGTON - Barack Obama says John McCain's plan to balance the budget doesn't add up. Easy for him to say: It's not a goal he's even trying to reach.

McCain says he would reduce spending by slowing the growth of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, but he hasn't said how he would try to change the benefits. He also says he would slow the government's spending growth and stop spending on lawmakers' special earmarked projects. But earmarks accounted for just $17 billion of the $2.9 trillion budget this year.

Obama plans to raise $100 billion annually by increasing taxes on Americans making more than $250,000 a year, money that would be used to pay for health care and tax cuts for low- and middle-income earners. He has said ending the Iraq war would generate about $80 billion a year, but he's not using that to pay down the deficit either. Instead, he said that money could help pay for more government programs like health care, education, housing and public safety.

Bush has created such an economic disaster that there is no way to realistically bring it back under control in just 4 years. So, for me, the fact that Obama has some realistic ideas for helping this country, that makes a lot more sense than McCain's non-plans and his continuation of bush's horrible policies.
