Word for word:
Make Health Care More Affordable: Fix the prescription drug program by putting people ahead of drug companies and HMO’s, eliminating wasteful subsidies, negotiating lower drug prices and ensuring the program works for all seniors; invest in stem cell and other medical research.
Uh...drug companies make the rest possible..if you limit the profit, kiss the rest goodbye. Want better diagnosis..who pays for the research to create new technologies? Solve that conundrum. If you can do that I'll consider voting for you.
Lower Gas Prices and Achieve Energy Independence: Crack down on price gouging; eliminate billions in subsidies for oil and gas companies and use the savings to provide consumer relief and develop American alternatives, including biofuels; promote energy efficient technology.
Where's my hydrogen car?
Help Working Families: Raise the minimum wage; repeal tax giveaways that encourage companies to move jobs overseas.
Sounds good, what does that mean?
Cut College Costs: Make college tuition deductible from taxes; expand Pell grants and slash student loan costs.
That's fine, but what do they do when they graduate? How do plan to get out of the way of business so the fed govt doesn't screw it all up? Regulate industries' profits like drug companies?
Ensure Dignified Retirement: Prevent the privatization of Social Security; expand savings incentives; and ensure pension fairness.
I just DON'T see what's wrong with voluntary privatization without another light bulb going on to save the system
Require Fiscal Responsibility: Restore the budget discipline of the 1990s that helped eliminate deficits and spur record economic growth.
That's great, but how much of that surplus WAS the result of the internet technology bubble?
SOMETHING IS MISSING IN THIS PLAN
