draining the US Treasury Perhaps, but Kerry has promised enough spending to insure that would happen with him also. - handing over lower and middle class earnings to the ultrawealthy in the form of tax transfers Cutting taxes of "ultrawealty" doesn't take anything away from lower or middle class. In fact, though, everyone's taxes have been cut. - jacking up the price of Medicare (33% increase in drug co profits from that bill) so it can kick off poor seniors Yes, he got a Medicare prescription benefit passed. Wouldn't the Democrats jack up medicare even more to be even more generous, contributing to the first problem you complained about? Of course. - privatizing social security We're going to have to do something about SS or the country will be in bad shape in coming years. Do Democrats have a solution? - privatizing the military (we already pay CACI and others 100K-200K or 10 times what we pay for a regular volunteer soldier) as seen everyday in Iraq and Afghanistan Contracting is something new the Bush administration came up with. - privatizing immigration (that was rejected this week by even some Republicans in Congress) Will Democrats be tougher on immigration? - privatizing National Parks and other US Government Properties particularly if they have minerals and oil underneath them. Bush has already pushed drilling in the Rockies for oil. ANWAR is just a distraction. It's already happening. Great. We should be drilling in the Rockies and in ANWR. Where do you want the stuff you burn in your vehicle to come from?
