ROTFL, I would settle for just getting rid of Reaganite's namesakes so called "Reform" of 1986 or just raising the limit of $32,000 on which a senior couple then pays tax on their Social Security when other taxable income combined with half of their
Social Security reaches that massive limit.   Are there no other seniors who post on this forum. who get screwed each April 15th? 

Maybe Reaganite can explain where Dubya cut our taxes? They go up every year. It's just one more fallacy and GOP talking point. The economy is in the tank, but maybe Reaganite doesn't shop for groceries as he's much too busy explaining the cost of electing a Democrat with all those increased taxes.   

Then here I am barely past being a Newbie, but the "stuff" posted by those such as Reaganite, who claim to be against McCain, sure do sound somewhat disingenuous as they continue to damn Obama while spouting the same old GOP talking points, the
same ones I've heard since my first vote when I turned 21 before the voting age was changed to 18. 

The net costs will not increase a dime.  They will simply be spread more evenly across all participants.  Your flawed rationale that medical costs will somehow increase because people are required to get or be provided health insurance shows your fundamental misunderstanding of basic economics.

It will be inevitable, even if it is a dictatorial one.  There is not even a functional govt now, much less a stable one.  I am confident that violence in Iraq without us can be no worse than Iraq with us.  In fact, I am confident that we are only postponing the inevitable, thereby prolonging the violence that will only be resolved when we stop acting as their police & military force.

How, exactly, is staying in Iraq going to change the long term outcome?

They tried that already.  It's called the Arab-Israeli War, the Six-Day War, the Yom Kippur War, etc.  The Islamic countries failed every time.  What makes you think the results would be any different if we leave Iraq?

As opposed to continuing to debase the dollar by borrowing more foreign debt, yes.  It's called fiscal responsibility.

I repeat this every time I have a discussion about taxes.  There is no such thing as a tax cut, only tax deferral.  Bush's "tax cuts" were not tax cuts at all, they were a deferral of debt to future tax payers at the expense of selling our future productivity to the Chinese & debasing the US Dollar (and American assets).

In 2002 the US Dollar was on par with the Euro.  If oil had switched to being priced in Euros instead of Dollars at that time, we would be paying $80/barrel instead of $130.  This is a direct result of deficit spending, and poor fiscal policy on the part of supply side conservatives.  The best way to turn the US into a third world country with triple digit or worse inflation rates is to continue to defer taxes, ignore unfunded future liabilities like social security, and remain the police & military force for a country half way around the world the size of California.

But why should we worry?  Now is the time to elect another free lunch supply sider to put the final nail in the coffin of right wingers once & for all!  All my debt is at a fixed rate; sux to be among the generation of Americans who are in the middle of grade school right now.

Who will pay for Obama's universal health care? Simple.

The top tier, who were given an unnecessary, unpaid for, irresponsible tax cut in 2001, and then another one in 2003. By reversing the cut on the top tier we can fund both Obama's health care initiative as well as a middle class tax cut.

(McCain doesn't want to do anything about health care, wants to make the tax cuts on the top tier permanent, and add a bunch of other tax cuts for the wealthy. But he doesn't want to fund the new G.I. Bill for our Iraq veterans).
