The Iraq war is being financed almost entirely on debt, so that will give him almost no additional revenue. Additionally, he's not going to withdraw nearly as quickly as promised--already discussed this.
So we're left with: (1) raising taxes on the rich and those who invest in the economy during a recession and (2) getting better credit card deals to pay for a massive universal health care program. I get it.

I thought you were trying to have an honest conversation. Instead it appears that when I given an example of a spending cut, you then determine that the example is all there is. Not interested in honest discussion. I get it.
