He talks of rolling back tax cuts to help pay for his healthcare plan, but as far as I can tell, he is going to need to do a lot more than that, unless we just want shitty health care. He and McCain both talk about preventative medicine as well, how healthy people will lower costs. Not so according to the latest studies. It actually INCREASES long term costs because people live longer.
What is he going to do about Social Security?
What is his plan for getting troops out of Iraq?
His foreign policy is to commence talks with nations we currently don't talk with. Ever think there was a bigger reason we don't talk to them? I am guessing there is. Probably a number of them.
Like I said earlier. I like change. But I need an idea of what the change is going to be. I am not attracted by pithy campaign slogans and inspiring orators with no substance to speak of. I need more info. Thankfully the real campaign is going to require it from both candidates.
His ads (so far) in Texas are mainly dealing with Health Care. But again, no real susbstance. Talks about how his mother had health problems and struggled with the system. Talks about how you can't solve health care until you clean up the legal problems and special interest groups. Basically says that you can't fix health care until you fix washington. All in all, nothing. I love you.
