Christ get rid of the tridents ( wanta watch the WA delegation scream ), some other things, pull the troops out of Europe, out of Iraq, lot we can do and it DOES NOT GET US THERE.

The new medical health plan like it or not is 1 trillion short 10 yrs out, Soc Sec is not maintainable, medicare & aid going under.
