  • Question:

    WHY is it acceptable to put our country in trillion dollar debt for war,but it is unacceptable to borrow a few billion to provide free healthcare for all citizens? Our national system's are broken, why not fix America first?

    Listen to: U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX)

    The first and foremost role of the federal government is to provide for the national defense. And that’s what we’re doing in Iraq. I think the caller was absolutely right saying we need the troops to come home as soon as possible, but we need to do it in a responsible way. The December 08 change in mission is right in line of what the Iraq study group recommended from more of a combat to a support role. If we immediately withdraw, there would be total chaos, the Middle East would be a fireball, it’s not a problem you can run away from.
