I listened to the debate and some things just seem way exaggerated. There is this big emphasis on repealing the health care law. What is catastrophic? That you have to get insurance or face a $700 penalty when if you don't we pay some huge bills for you? If you don't have car insurance, you lose your license. Now if the law said you don't get any health care, I could understand the panic. They don't want you to keep your kids on your policy till they're 25? They want pre-existing conditions to allow companies to deny coverage? Group policies at work don't do this so why should any insurance. Consider us one big group and it's a cost of doing business to cover all people. Gingrich said you should have to have faith to be president. Romney said that Unions should not be allowed to contribute while we've recently had the court allow corporations to contribute unlimited amounts. Has he ever heard of justice? They attack George W. Obama over and over, sometimes in very insulting ways. If they hate the government and democrats, don't they hate America? Rick Perry wanted Texas to secede from the union. Dang America haters. Their job plans are just cutting regulations and corporate taxes. That is a band-aid on a gunshot wound. And which regulations? Obama wants to extend unemployment benefits, do some targeted tax cuts and build up our infrastructure which we need and goes directly goes to jobs. We can balance the budget during this recession or create jobs. The WSJ points out that economists say this is too little. Click here for a summary.

The cost is $450B but $250B of that is tax cuts.
