Massive bailouts, foreclosed homes, jaw-dropping gas prices, chaos on Wall Street. These are just a few signs of the U.S.'s struggling economy. As America enters the next chapter of its history, what impact will an Obama administration have on our economic future?

Explanation:
Again, McCain's camp is refusing to offer specifics. Why is it okay to keep saying "eliminate wasteful spending" and not say what spending you find wasteful?
I really want to know what you plan to cut.
And which "earmarked" funds are you referring to?
I would really appreciate an answer to any of these questions before the election.

This is a spending fool. Look at his record in his home state. And did you ever see Clinton's record? They both love to spend my money.

Obama is doing the same thing. Your examples aren't specific at all. I hear generalities and no specifics. The couple examples you give are drops in the ocean. The only one willing to offer real spending cut solutions is Bob Barr but unfortunately the system is set up so only a Democrat or Republican can win.

"Barack Obama has done just that, calling for the reductions of payments to private plans in Medicare, the reduction of subsidies to banks that make student loans, reforming payments to high-income farmers, and other specific spending cuts."
Which would be more than offset by increases in spending in education and a universal health plan and handing out income tax refunds to people who don't pay income tax. Both these guys will spend our country into bankruptcy.
