Why not increase spending on those things that help the middle class (i.e. college, etc.)? Well, first of all, I'd say that the federal government should not be involved in those things. The Constitution delegates all other powers that are not explicitly stated in the Constitution to the States. There's no mention of college assistance in the Constitution (among other things). Second of all, why does the government take a part in this anyway? If the money that we saved from paying taxes were applied to a combination of paying for your own education and money could also be given to private scholarships. So maybe instead of giving everyone a 'helping hand' and wasting so much money on the bureaucracy of government, we instead leave it in the hands of the people. And yes, this theory does apply to many other candidates. BTW, if you think I'm a Bush supporter, you'd be wrong. Harry Browne and the Libertarian Party all the way! Sorry, you got me started there. And I apologize to our Canadian and Brazillian comrades as they have very little interst in this at all........

Matt who's tired of the two-party system......
