Not as much as what Obama is promising, but Iraq and military spending should be the first things on the cutting table.

526 billion for this year.

Well Obamas plans will cost less than McSames according to all I have read.

McCain will keep spending redicules amounts on Iraq.

At least Obamas plan helps the US people and ecnonmy. The war is killing our economy.

True that. No one has the balls to make the deep cuts that are needed.

The National Taxpayers Union, which advocates lower taxes and smaller government, pegged the cost of Obama's platform at $307 billion yearly. That was in March, the last time the group updated its figure; at the time, Clinton's agenda cost $226 billion yearly, and McCain's was $6.9 billion, the group said.

Wow you would have been really relevant in March!

There have been a lot of promises made since then.

What part of "the last time the group updated its figures" is causing you difficulty?

I suppose the other candidates could have promised an additional hundred billion or so in the interval.

But I doubt it.

Got any later figures to present?
