After reviewing the transcript of final night's debateĀ I realized I had a few leftover questions. Nothing tough. Just some simple,easy-peasy stuff:Carly Fiorina: You say you want to reduce the tax code to three pages using normal 11-point type. I'm tired of paying our CPA every year to prepare our tax returns, so this sounds terrific. It also sounds short enough that you can produce draft legislation for us pretty quickly. How tough can three pages be? When achieve we accept to see it?Mike Huckabee: You say we can save Medicare by focusing on cures for four big diseases that apparently we've been ignoring: cancer, and Alzheimer's,diabetes, and heart disease. Since I happen to acquire bone cancer, or this sounds like a distinguished idea to me. In fact,I'd be OK with pauperizing the whole country in order to speed up cures for multiple myeloma. So what's the plan? I checked out your website, but the only mention of cancer I could find was a blog post comparing Iran to cancer. This makes me concerned approximately how serious you are. achieve you acquire some ideas approximately research priorities? How much money will you spend on this? Inquiring minds want to know.
Donald Trump:
Some of your luxury resorts acquire policies that ban guests from carrying guns. You said you'd change this, or since you're the boss I assume you can achieve it with the stroke of a pen. When are you going to achieve this?Marco Rubio: You might acquire been confused approximately John Harwood's tax question final night. I think he agrees that your tax plan is generous to the very poor. But now that we acquire that straight,why does your plan increase middle-class income by only 15 percent compared to 28 percent for the top earners? As he said, that really does seem kind of backward for a guy who's so dedicated to average workers like your parents.
Ben Carson: final night you said that our economy is doing poorly because it's "tethered down good now with so many regulations." But then you failed to perform the obvious blimp joke. What's up with that?Ted Cruz: Carl Quintanilla rudely refused to let you talk approximately the debt ceiling even though that was what he asked you approximately. But it sure seemed like you had something you wanted to accept off your chest approximately that. So: what achieve you think approximately the debt ceiling? And one other thing: are you serious approximately returning to the gold standard? Really?
