McCain's Plans

John McCain won't talk about the economy or the war in Iraq. There is something else he won't tell you, but the Wall Street Journal let the cat out of the bag (h/t DemocraticUnderground):

John McCain would pay for his health plan with major reductions to Medicare and Medicaid, a top aide said, in a move that independent analysts estimate could result in cuts of $1.3 trillion over 10 years to the government programs.

The Republican presidential nominee has said little about the proposed cuts, but they are needed to keep his health-care plan "budget neutral," as he has promised. The McCain campaign hasn't given a specific figure for the cuts, but didn't dispute the analysts' estimate.....

>>> Did anyone mention that Todd Palin was a member of the Alaska Independence Party? AKIP.org
has info that says that Mr. Palin was a member of this right wing separatist movement that wanted to remove itself from the U.S.A. Isn't AKIP some sort of homegrown terrorist group? Just asking.
