Where’s This Money Coming From?

Obama has presented a plan to help families in need because of our economic crisis. CNN writes:

“Specifically, Obama will push to increase the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit rate from 20 percent to 35 percent for families making under $85,000 a year. Families making from $85,000 to $115,000 also would see an increase in their tax credit, the statement said.”

There were other ideas included in this plan and all included paying American citizens extra money to help them get by. My only question is… Where is this money coming from exactly? We are in debt up to our eyeballs and we still have money to give out to people? I don’t get it.

It’s like putting a band aid on a cancerous tumor. It makes it seem like we are doing something but it doesn’t get to the source of the problem. We have to attack our country’s debt at the source. We have to find out where we are losing money and stop up the drain before we can give any more money away.

Obama, I thought you were smarter than that. Remove the cancer before you put the band aid on.
