How will Kerry pay for his Health Care program? 1. By doing away with the tax cuts to the wealthiest people in our country. People earning more than $200,000 per year. 2. By closing Corporate tax loop holes where corporations get tax benefits for outsourcing work abroad. 3. By ending the occupation of Iraq earlier than George Bush would and not embarking on other military adventures that do not enhance our own national security. How many new troops will Kerry put into Iraq, if any? There are times when being cheap is very expensive. If we went into Iraq, we should have spent the money to put more troops on the ground as the Army Chief of Staff testified. By being cheap, we did not have enough troops to guard the ammo dumps. Rudy Guiliani was right when he said you can't blame the President for not securing the ammo dumps. That was the military's job. If you only support the troops by waving the flag and yelling patriotism, that is not enough. You have to provide them the resources, they think they need. Our military people are terrific. They believe in the chain of command. But our civilian military bosses are bullies and worse, they don't know what they are doing. What is Kerry's plan for stabilizing and then withdrawing from Iraq? By putting in as many troops as needed to secure Iraq and then hand it over to the International community. They have as much at stake in this as we do. They will have to share the burden. We can't be suckers and pay the whole bill.
