Cuts are cuts. Dean is not saying that he raised cigarette taxes AND cut services. He is not telling the truth about the budgetary problems with his medical program. He is not telling the truth about his willingness to cut traditional health care services. How far is he willing to go?
Which goes right back to his support of Medicare cuts that he also is not being truthful about. This is from his own web site:
"Howard Dean spoke favorably only of a general proposal put forward in May of 1995 by Senator Pete Domenici to reduce the rate of growth in Medicare."
This is NOT Clinton's plan.
