Subject: RE: BS: $1.3 Trillion Cut In Medicare/Medicaid
Thanks for the info Carol.
I certainly know where Mccain stands in regards to the military / healthcare budgets. But with Obama I feel he could do better.
I know, I know he's the best going in the race but I still feel hazy onto where he is going to take it all in regards to the military objective vs. healthcare. The whole healthcare issue could easily be solved just by cutting back drastically on the military machine. Being a Canadian I find it hard to fathom on how there could be debates about the whole lack of adequate care in a rich ocuntry when the money that is spent on the military machine is beyond any reaonable comprehension.
BTW ... I was listening to a CBC Radio 2 program last week when they did mention the $630 $Billion$ bill being passed in Congress (while they arguing over the $700 $billion to save the bankers) ... it mentioned that this miltary budget was not only $money$ to support the war, but also for the whole infrastructure of the military ... right or wrong, that is a lotta $money$ and I feel it is a shame when so many in the country do not have adequate healthcare, adequate education. The right to healhcare should not even be in question.
