Economic Prosperity is Essential to Fighting the War on Terrorism

Our military power is critical in defending our Nation and defeating the terrorists. It takes money to run the military. That money is generated by a strong economy. Taxes, overspending, inefficient and duplicative government operations, and unnecessary regulations depress the economy. Thus, without lower taxes, a cut in spending, and a reformation of failing government programs, we limit the money we have to fund our military. Without a strong military we cannot defeat our enemies.

It is therefore essential that we elect someone who will implement those measures aimed to stimulate the economy. Huckabee’s record as governor of Arkansas indicates that he will raise taxes, overspend, and over regulate our economy if he becomes the President.

Mitt Romney, on the other hand, made a living in the private sector and as governor of Massachusetts at reviving failing organizations and reducing inefficient operations. As Governor he faced a $3 billion deficit when he took office in 2003. He was determined to stop the madness. He lowered taxes, cut spending and reorganized the state. By 2006, the state no longer had a deficit, in fact, it had a $700 million surplus.

Mitt Romney believes the strength of America comes from the people. Mitt’s economic policy will not only allow each American to keep more of their hard earned money, but, most importantly, it will enable us to maintain the strongest military in the world.

Universal Health Care Should Not Be a Government Takeover

According to Deborah White at www.about.com, Barack Obama recently stated, “I am absolutely determined that, by the end of the first term of the next president, we should have universal health care in this country. There’s no reason why we can’t accomplish that.” You can read Obama’s entire speech by clicking here.

His rival John Edwards has also recently advocated for universal health care. Click here to read a posting titled “Edwards, No Match for Romney. Edwards has stated, “it is more important to invest in universal health care … than to reduce the budget deficit.” Edwards’ government takeover plan would be funded by taxing individuals who make over $200,000 a year.

According to Robert Portman, Director of the Office of Management and Budget, taxing individuals who make over $200,000 would only generate about $30 billion in revenues a year. Edwards’ estimates, however, that it would cost between $90 and $120 billion a year for the government to provide universal health care. Where is the rest of the $60 to $90 billion going to come from? Probably you and me. Click here here to view Portman’s interview on Charlie Rose regarding President Bush’s 2008 Budget and John Edwards’ government takeover plan.

According to Foxnews, “[i]n 1993, as first lady, Clinton led her husband’s calamitous attempt to overhaul the nation’s health care system.” Her government takeover plan ultimately failed.

You see the Democrats’ approach, the government takeover approach, still doesn’t solve the health care problem. Yes, everyone gets covered but it doesn’t reduce the costs of health care. Instead, it shifts the costs from one place (high insurance premiums) to another place (high taxes). We end up still paying a ton of money for health care.

And we all know that when there’s a government takeover, the costs go through the roof. Mitt said it best when, quoting someone else, he stated: “If you think health care is expensive now, wait till it’s free.”

Americans don’t need a government takeover, we need to change the market and reduce costs and at the same time give 46 million uninsured people a chance to take personal responsibility and obtain health insurance.

Health Care, A Democratic Issue or A Republican Issue or An American Issue?

According to CNN, Barack Obama stated, “The time has come for universal health care in America, … I am absolutely determined that by the end of the first term of the next president, we should have universal health care in this country …”

Although Obama and Romney want to make health care accessible for all American’s. According to https://www.mittromney.com Mitt states that “[t]he health of our nation can be improved by extending health insurance to all Americans, not through a government program or new taxes, but through market reforms. … We can’t have as a nation 40 million people — or, in my state, half a million — saying, ‘I don’t have insurance, and if I get sick, I want someone else to pay. … It’s a conservative idea … individuals have responsibility for their own health care. I think it appeals to people on both sides of the aisle: insurance for everyone without a tax increase.”

So what do you think? Is health care a Democratic issue or a Republican issue or an American issue?
