“I can make a firm pledge. Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase.

==Raising Debt Ceiling==
:Barack Hussein Obama and his administration have warned [[America]] to raise the nation's debt ceiling right away. Hyperbole from Treasury Secretary [[Timothy Geithner]], "Even a very short-term or limited default would have catastrophic economic consequences that would last for decades."
In 2006, Obama had something to say about raising our debt ceiling, “The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of '''leadership failure'''. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can't pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. ... Increasing America's debt weakens us domestically and internationally.
