Your candidates. Your health.

An organization called "Your Candidates. Your Health." did a survey of candidates. I responded, as did the incumbent in this race. Our reponses are completely opposite of each other. Short comparison: He wants to spend our money. I want to stop wasting our money.

It's easy to look at medical research in isolation, but consider the whole panoply of issues. McNulty has consistently voted to spend more of our money on everything. I have consistently opposed having the government decide how our money should be spent.

This survey is one example of the way elections are tilted toward spending money. I don't think I've ever gotten a survey from a group that wanted anything other than to have government spend money on their pet cause, whether it's Social Security and Medicare for old people, or student loans and college grants for young people. The voices for less spending are few and far between.

They all talk about lowering taxes too, but how can you claim to support lower taxes when your main thing is to ask for more spending. It's baloney and it's time the voters stood up and said something about it.
