Yo - democrats - what do you think...

Okay, so this post isn't for you screaming righties with nothing to say - so don't bother.

The various candidates are starting to come out with their "Ideas" for what they'd do - Most notably, Hillary has presented her big health care thing.

I don't know about you, but I'm disappointed. Sure, it's bold & all, but it's one more big-spending item and until we get the budget under control, I don't think putting forward a big-bux initiative is smart at all - and I think most voters know it. Is there a need for reform in healthcare? Yes. Is her solution the right one? I don't know... but I do think that proposing that we spend a bunch of money we don't have (or will have to raise taxes to get) is NOT a good idea right now.

Of course, no one else is even suggesting much of anything except that we get out of Iraq (which is fine by me) so Hill gets points for being politically brave... but I don't know if she's being smart here.

Thoughts?

Oh, and I'm still a registered libertarian, but since I will be voting democratic in 08, no matter WHO runs, I'll be re-registering soon.
