If Mccain is planning to reduce taxes - where is he going to get all the money from to fund the Iraq war?

Question

I believe Mccain is planning to reduce income tax from 35% to 25%. Ok, thats good news for all of us.

But wait ---- if he plans to stay in Iraq, where is all the money going to come from?

So far it has cost $3trillion for the Iraq war and all of it was from taxpayers money.

You cant wage a war with no money - the soldiers would strike.....

Answer 1

The fact is, the war is what will bring this country further down.  I heard McCain's speech last night and he made it clear that he does not want war, however at the same time, we already know he won't retreat.  Also I saw a piece from the interview that Obama did with Bill O'Reilly.  He said that we have made progress which is true, however he also made it clear that the Iraqi's have not taken responsibility for themselves which they have not.  So in the big scheme of things, you have one president saying that we need to withdraw, why you have another that will not leave anytime soon.  Bottom line?  This war will be a handicap no matter who we elect.  The fact is that the war has caused a tremendous amount of debt not only for us, but it has weakened our military infrastructure.  Lower taxes and a war at the same time?  Not likely to happen.  

Answer 2

From the chinese, to be paid with interest by your grandkids.

Of course, the US gov is purposely devaluing our currency so that our debt won't seem as bad when we pay it back. Of course, retirement will no longer exist when 10K dollars is only worth 100 dollars.

Answer 3

As President, he and Palin will start cutting pork barrel spending. If Palin cut like 200 million from Alaska alone, just imagine what they can do with a whole country.

GOD BLESS

Answer 4

Haven't you heard? The surge is over and Iraq is safe.  The draw down is happening.  Pay attention.

He doesn't plan to pay for it because we won't have anything to do there after the middle of next year.

Answer 5

He'll borrow from Cindy ?

Answer 6

Answer 7

Answer 8

  It's hard for liberals to understand Economics 101, but I'll try to explain. Less taxes = more growth = more jobs = more tax revenue for Uncle Sam. Now isn't that easy to understand?

Answer 9

You might want to read the news on Iraq of late.

We should be out of Iraq in one year!

14 of 18 providence's have been turned over to the Iraq military.

Only four more to go OK.

Answer 10

Why don't you do a bit of research.  There isn't much fact in your question.  Just BS

Answer 11

Well lets see, he is going cut out government wasteful spending, by doing away with programs and such that are useless.  General Petraus, is wanting to pull 5,000 troops out of Iraq this will greatly decrease the amount of money being spent in Iraq.  Iraq wants the US out of their country by 2011 I believe.  So no matter who is elected, our troops are coming home.  For the safety of their own country, we have to do it slow and make sure that their troops are trained and ready.

I want a president who I know will do what is necessary to protect us the best he can, and I want to know that this Man will go after those who have harmed us.  I believe that McCain will do this.  Obama, No I doubt that he would do anything.....it is like this, If a child is born to a muslim man......HE IS MUSLIM, I do not trust Obama with our National security, because in the Muslim religion and family....you have to put your religion first.
