She talked about health care. she explained that yes, she did try this once before, and has the scars to prove it, but she learned a lot from that experience, and there's also a big difference now. Everyone is talking about the cost of health care. Employers, hospitals, the young, old, and in between. She made a lot of generalizations, but did make 2 specific suggestions. Enable people to buy into Medicare, or enable them to buy into the Fed. plan that she has.
She was asked how she planned to protect America from terrorists. control the boarders, ports, and air freight, and the biggest of all, re-establish afriendship and cooperation with other countries around the world. The last six years, this administration has ignored all the criends we had, and we cannot do it without them, nor can they without us.
She talked about Americas dependance on foreign oil, and made several suggestions:
Demand vehicles be mademore fuel efficient.
Remove the oil subsidies, and add a windfall tax on oil companies.
Use the money from the tax and former subsidies to encourage research into alternative energy sources, such as solar, geothermal, wind, etc.
Put this plan on the fast track.
She said it was a mistake for Shrub to pull out of the Kyoto agreement, but the biggest mistake was that he didn't offer any alternative. You can't just pretend that global warming is just not happening!
She was asked about what can be done to help students afford to go to college. I didn't catchthe wholething, but she mentioned that she believed aide should be based on need instead of merit as it's done now. There are not only A students who need financial help, but B, and C stidents who are working hard.
The last topic was SS, and that's where you cam in.
There will be another web conversation tomorrow night at 7PM est.
