McCain promises billions in spending

[waronyou]

Republican John McCain is making promises that would cost billions of taxpayer dollars, yet he is vague about how he would pay for them.
McCain is handing around a campaign grab bag of goodies. There are little treats like a summer gas-tax holiday and new mortgages for struggling homeowners, and there are big plums like tax breaks for corporations and families with children.
The expected GOP presidential nominee has nothing on the Democrats. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama would spend billions of dollars themselves on things like paid family leave, universal health insurance and preschool for kids.
And he gets attention when he says it was spending, not the war in Iraq, that cost Republicans their control of Congress in 2006
Now McCain is promising ambitious cuts in spending to pay for his ideas. The cuts would not pay for all his promises, but McCain says they needn't.

So you consider cutting taxes - a goodie?

What is wrong with letting people keep more of the money they earn?

Well at least you included this part when slamming McCain. Hillary and Obama's health care idea would cost billions.

McCains liberal. No one has ever disputed that. But of the three, he is the only one who has tried to reign in government corruption and spending. (Granted he hasnt been successful).

Also, tax cuts arent goodies. They don't cost the government anything because it was never the governments money to begin with.

Almost all members of both the GOP and Dem party do that. That's why you should vote Libertarian if you really want to get rid of tax-and-spend policies.
