Hi Blue Fin

Something to think about-The Pentagon won't even submit estimated costs for operations in Iraq. They in essence ask for a blank check. If we start pulling back-and-if we were to end the cost-plus compensation for the contractors, and not pay $44 for a six pack of coke anymore, there will be plenty of money. Obama is not looking to increase expenditures, he is just going to spend money on different things, like rebuilding our roads and bridges. Been to Minnesota lately?

In any case, it is the Republicans who have been spending like drunken sailors, while cutting taxes. Also, U. S. taxes are still fairly low in comparison to the rest of the world. There are plenty of loopholes in the tax code to close, which would generate more money, as well. There are lots of ways that he can pay for his programs without a general tax increase. In fact, I haven't seen anywhere that he has said anything about a tax increase. He has demonstrated how we can pay for his programs by changing allocations in the budget.
