With respect to the debt, Republicans contributed to that. What is their current fiscal recommendation? Additional tax cuts for the wealth that would only add to the debt.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://appliedrationality.blogspot.com/2009/05/strategy-for-party-of-no.html"><DIV>Defense policy? Republican policy gave us the ill-advised war in Iraq, the mis-managed war in Afghanistan, and the neglected insurgency in Pakistan.
