What I want to hear is their plan to get us out of debt. We spend so much on social programs that we are going to go bankrupt when the baby boomers hit 80.
Social programs aren't what's putting us into debt.
(Social security and Medicaid come from their OWN tax - a payroll tax).
It's giving all our money to rebuild places like Iraq. Rebuild at home before you spend it somewhere else.
