I am all for McCain's crusade against pork barrel spending, but pork barrel spending is at an absolute max 5-10% of the federal budget. We are going to have to raise taxes, or the interest we will be paying on the national debt in 50 years or so will be over 25-35% of the national budget at the rate we are going. Otherwise we will have to severely reduce our military and other areas of the budget to save money. |
The republicans don't plan on getting the debt under control. McCain already has lobbyists lined up, Oil companies waiting for the continuation of their tax cuts and POW's (much like himself) to vote against helping. The difference between Obama and McCain is that given McCain's history in Arizona boast that he is the devil you know, while Obama is the devil in which you don't know.
