Debate #4
Charlie, do you support privatizing SS?
CS: No, I changed my position during the meltdown.
Chellie, where do you cut the budget and expand SS and healthcare?
CP: Let’s roll back Bush tax cuts and end the war. Major savings there.
Charlie, was the stimulus a success?
CS: Jury is out. It helped a bit, but we need to enact tax laws letting them keep more money. Tax cuts are good. Farm subsidies are bad. Taxes and Regulations should be minimal, so that small businesses can grow.
Chellie, what are republicans doing right now that you like?
CP: Pricing of prescription drugs. I would work with both parties to help negotiate prices.
Charlie, what about the PATRIOT act?
CS: Private conversation evesdropping should be stopped. Since PATRIOT and 9/11, no more attacks. Editors note: Post hoc, Ergo propter hoc logical fallacy
Chellie, why did you take big wall street donations?
CP: I knew that I needed money to be competitive, and I knew that I would always vote my conscience. I have been the president of Common Cause and will push for public financing of elections. Until we change the system, I play by the rules.
