It's a nice thought however it's not something that will ever happen. First off, there are all of the social welfare programs he wants to open up to illegal aliens. How will those be funded? Then there are the military advances he threatens against several nations. Like he points out all the time, they cost money. How will they be funded?
On to his tax reform plan - he says he will cut the taxes for low income citizens but does not draw a line as to what dollar amount that will be. He says he will raise the taxes of the rich & the corporations but has he stopped to consider what will happen to the workforce of those corporations when he does that? Doubt it & the word for what will happen is either downsizing or layoffs.

Unless he cuts the budget, he is going to have to make it up somewhere. And don't say just tax business, because guess what, businesses just pass the costs on to their customers, so it will be still coming out of your pocket. But it does sound good and I'm sure a lot of people will fall for it.

If he could really do that I would be thrilled... But looking at his track record how exactly does Mr. Obama plan to execute that? with a nation so deep in debt that it has to borrow money from China and Saudi Arabia just for the economy to stay stable... Don't be fooled by another faulty promise making politician...
He has made it fairly obvious he is opposed to the war in Iraq, but what about entering a war with Pakistan and Iran now, immigration, the economy, why did he reauthorize the Patriot Act?

No, because unfortunately he will not be the president. Please DON'T vote for Hillary!
