There was nothing in my post about the War or Health Care
You should actually read what I said after listening to the whole tape. I was asking how he would pay for the transition to new forms of power generation and a grand scheme to provide "millions of jobs" to rebuild the nations infrastructure. Why you came back with that I don't understand
We, the tax payers (those who's earnings are high enough to pay taxes) pay for everything. The Government has no money. If he is going to create millions of jobs as he claims, all on the Government Payroll, where do these extra funds come from? Also, there is not enough skilled labor in the United States to fill the currently empty positions; so where do these skilled workers come from?
I think those are legitimate questions. He is promising the Moon without a word about how these things will be funded. Housing costs have doubled in the last five years along with Property Taxes and I don't need a tax and spender raising my taxes. His Parties definition of Rich is so low that the people who will pay for this can not afford it.
Before I get flamed, I am not a Republican. Sheep join Parties and believe every word their candidates say. Smart people say whoa there wait a minute, how are you going to pay for that without raising my already high taxes?
Bottom line is that I'm trying to decide who to vote for. Anyone who wants my vote needs to give details. This Program will cost $? and it will be paid for by ?????? and I will raise taxes on those earning $? is the kind of answers I want. Not just, I'm going to hire millions of people to rebuild the infrastructure but I'm not going to tell you how I'm going to do that until after I'm elected.
Too bad so many voters are Groupies who don't ask hard questions. Thats how we got in this mess in the first place.
