| Message | We must disagree. With the most recent economic reforms, we have been able to cut the deficit nearly in half. Healthcare is our second largest expense already (10,000,000,000 SAD under defense spending). We need to be more fiscally responsible in ALL areas of government in order to pull ourselves out of this economic downturn. |
