I'm ok in paying more for a balance budget, or for an improved infrastructure. And maybe even an emergency healthcare plan for all. But I don't think we need to be subsiding people's lifestyles unless they are going to work hard an improve themselves.
What about Caroline Kennedy? She is on his VP search team, but I think she would be a different choice and be interesting.
