Charles Payne, a FOX Business financial analyst and conservative, opines about the Obama administrtion's economic policies and the U.S. economy: "I believe overall confidence plays an important role in economic recovery and for that reason alone I would like to see the White House shift gears. Forget about looking back; the longer that excuse lingers the more it sounds like we elected a spoiled sport rather than someone prepared to get the job done. Moreover, stop bragging in general, and on occasion give Americans credit. There is such a thing as the business cycle and it works because America works. People want results. People are also understanding and also smarter than the left thinks. Pushing for another stimulus plan but not calling it 'stimulus' is dishonest and confirms the first plan was supposed to be a jobs bill. It was supposed to be the mother of all job bills, or at least was sold that way. Money was redirected, there was pork spending, and it was a failure."
He continues his commentary: "The market cycle is working, and all the government needs to do is stay out of the way, stop with the cap and trade, healthcare reform, and consumer protection that only dry up credit to consumers. Stop with the taxes. Stop with the finger wagging and finger pointing. And please…stop with the blame Bush stuff. It's old already. It's time to open the door to listening to the nation and trying to build a new concrete beginning. By the way the real cost of the Stimulus plan is $826.0 billion and climbing according to the CBO. Let's face it, the bigger cost is we just spend money for political goals and find ourselves in the same situation Greece is in but there will be nobody to come to our aid. These are taxpayer funds we are talking about and it['s] time to stop all the convoluted schemes to get it back to the taxpayer. I actually think these schemes aren't sincere and in the end, why not give taxpayers and businesses tax holidays; I think it's the best and easiest way to help them and in the process help the nation."
