Where do you want to cut? And then on top of that, you want to cut while ALSO giving a tax cut?

obama and mccain are both advocating tax cuts to most citizens as well as spending increases-both are being completely irresponsible in that respect. as for military cuts, had bush not gone rushing into iraq, we wouldn't have the military spending we're seeing right now. whether it could be cut further once we're out of iraq, i don't know-since we still have afghanistan to deal with. having troops and equipment in the field is obviously far more expensive than a military at peace.
foreign aid should be cut, all this port should be stopped. the feds need to go back to providing what they're supposed to be providing, instead of all this extra.
i pay for both federal medicare, and arkids-taxed twice for similar programs. in this state, we have exorbitant sales tax-groceries are taxed here, as well as property, personal property, and income taxes.
oh, but the state has a surplus...i wonder why. so of course now they want to increase spending. i'd rather they did away with the tax on groceries. since when are necessities of life taxed? since i live in arkansas.
