Health care? Isn't her health care plan just to force people to buy insurance? Thats ridiculous.

I don't support universal health care, but any attempt to socialize health care that includes the current insurance companies is just silly.

I tend to agree with this. If you want to do universal health care, I think the whole idea to be disgusting and evil, but at least do it right.

Social Security: Maintain status quo
Social spending: Maintain existing programs, but more money
Health Care: Not a whole lot to choose from here since the Dem candidates proposals are pretty similar, so this is just a generic Dem>GOP thing
War on Terror: This is mostly about surrounding yourself with the right advisers. I suspect that a Cabinet formed by Sen. Clinton will contain many of the figures we saw in her Husband's Administration, which fought terrorism the right way IMO
Supreme Court Justices: Another generic Dem>GOP thing

She's Bill's wife. That's her main appeal. During the Clinton administration the economy did well, better fiscal discipline, welfare reform, etc. Although a Republican led Congress contributed as well, Bill arguably gets most of the credit. With her you're getting 8 more years of a Clinton and Bill will be in the Whitehouse to provide guidance.

Repub led congress contributed a lot. This put government in deadlock, one of the best situations available.

If only the democrats were reasonable opposition leaders we could have a similar situation now.

Bill's tenure appears fiscally responsible, but what happened to that social security fund Americans were supposed to inherit?

Isn't the status quo at least partly responsible for why the system is going bankrupt?
