McCain: No new taxes, no incresing taxes, cut spending!

[Logan13]

Interesting but Id like to hear what and where exactly he plans on cutting

entitlements would be a good start. If current programs are kept in place, by 2011 entitlements will make up over 70% of our annual budget(this includes social security, medicare, and medicaid).

Agreed...I think we could start bumping a lot of people off entitlements like Wellfare, HUD, and Medicaid if we start drug testing them, and making the 1st offense loss of entitlements for life.



"""Like a lot of folks in this state, I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to get that paycheck, I am required to pass a random urine test with which I have no problem.

What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test. Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check because I have to pass one to earn it for them?

Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helping someone sitting on their A$$, doing drugs, while I work. . .

Can you imagine how much money the state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check?

Pass this along if you agree or simply delete if you don't. Hope you all will pass it along, though something has to change in this country -- and soon! """

I disagree on drug testing with you.

I believe that would be a violation of our privacy rights and has nothing to do with national security.

Just slash entitlements 20% across the board, like Arnold wants to do in California.

the gov't does not need to weasel itself out of entitlements by doing drug tests.

Well that would be much more fiscally responsible and having a balanced budget.
