These are direct excerpts
from the Obama webpage. I added the emphasis and the comments.
"Create Automatic Workplace
Pensions: The Obama-Biden retirement security plan will automatically
enroll workers in a workplace pension plan. Under their plan, employers who do
not currently offer a retirement plan, will be
required to enroll their employees in a direct-deposit IRA account that
is compatible to existing direct-deposit payroll systems. . . . "
How many small businesses will this requirement close
down?

"Fight Poverty: Obama
and Joe Biden will double our annual investment in foreign
assistance from $25 billion in 2008 to $50 billion by the end of his
first term and make the Millennium Development Goals, which aim to cut extreme
poverty in half by 2015, America's goals. They will fully
fund debt cancellation for Heavily Indebted Poor Countries in order to
provide sustainable debt relief and invest at least $50 billion by 2013 for the
global fight against HIV/AIDS, including our fair share of the Global Fund."
Let's not think of ourselves in this economic crisis, Let's
take care of our friends around the world. Overseas wealth
redistribution.

"Improve Our Immigration System
Obama and Biden believe we must fix the dysfunctional immigration bureaucracy
and increase the number of legal immigrants to keep
families together and meet the demand for jobs that
employers cannot fill. "
Do we have an employment problem? Or, an
unemployment problem? Look how he plans to put "Americans" to
work.
