Step into the meatgrinder, John

Ok, let's look at healthcare.
McCain: "Bringing costs under control is the only way to stop the erosion of affordable health insurance, save Medicare and Medicaid, protect private health benefits for retirees, and allow our companies to effectively compete around the world" (http://www.johnmccain.com/Informing/Issues/19ba2f1c-c03f-4ac2-8cd5-5cf2edb527cf.htm, first bullet point)

Wrong Senator, Although bringing costs under control is important. You need to stem the tide of ILLEGAL ALIENS/ILLEGAL IMMAGRANTS from comming into this country. Lock down the borders.

"While we reform the system and maintain quality, we can and must provide access to health care for all our citizens - whether temporarily or chronically uninsured, whether living in rural areas with limited services, or whether residing in inner cities where access to physicians is often limited."(same page as before, bullet point 3)

Make up your mind, are you a Democrat or a Republican? Universal health care is a BAD IDEA. If doctors are forced to treat everyone regardless of their insurance status, because the government doesn't pay well, they will either go out of business, or be forced to raise rates for those who don't have universal healthcare. The rest of the healthcare issue is more of the same. On to the next issue.

The war in Iraq
McCain:
"Separate those who can be reconcilled from those who can't." (http://www.johnmccain.com/Informing/Issues/fdeb03a7-30b0-4ece-8e34-4c7ea83f11d8.htm, multimedia blurb)
That would create myrtars, and embolden the enemy. We might separate them physically, but the fact that we'd now be viewed as another ruling class would foster and embolden our enemies. The failure in Iraq is only from the US side in that we want life and peace, our enemies want death for themselves and others. You can't pacify a group like that.

The border
McCain: ..."If we have learned anything from the recent immigration debate, it is that Americans have little trust that their government will honor a pledge to do the things necessary to make the border secure." Wow, a spark of the truth.

McCain:"Recognize the importance of a flexible labor market to keep employers in business and our economy on top. It should provide skilled Americans and immigrants with opportunity. Our education system should ensure skills for our younger workers, and our retraining and assistance programs for displaced workers must be modernized so they can pursue those opportunities."
A flexable labor force is important, but the educational system shouldn't have to provide retraining, assistance for displaced workers, or skills for younger workers. College and life provide those, and the majority of college should be privately funded, not publically. America was built on the fundamentals of being able to pick yourself up, and making things better. America wasn't built on the idea that those things should be provided for you. If you want to go back to school, do it the same as the rest of us. Get a few student loans, and go to the university.

The Economy:
McCain:
"A lower corporate tax rate is essential to U.S. competitiveness. America was once a low-tax business environment, but as our trade partners lowered their rates, America failed to keep pace, leaving us with the second-highest rate among the world’s advanced economies.[1]
Cutting the corporate tax will expand the U.S. economy, creating jobs and opportunities for prosperity. A recent analysis of tax policy options estimated that a cut less than half this size could increase long-term growth by 0.5 percent, or $100 billion in a single year.[2]
Lower corporate taxes leads to higher wages. Recent studies have shown that corporate taxes are in large part passed on to labor through lower wages. One study noted that a one percent hike in the corporate tax results in a 0.8 percent decrease in manufacturing wages.[3] Accordingly, cutting corporate taxes can increase wages for American workers. "

Uniform tax cuts won't result in the economic stimulus that he thinks it will. Anyone who ownes a larger business will more than likely try to get more value out of that extra 10% that he just got back, and invest that money through his company in other job markets overseas. As other countries try to vie for outsourcing contracts, the US technology worker faces lower and lower pay with more competition. The only way that extra 10% will make it into US coffers is by making it harder for US businesses to ship work overseas/out of the country.

Anyway it's late. Until tommorrow, be safe.
