Of course, I replied "ALL" on this baby
Whoever wrote this forgets that Republicans tend to crank out more debt than Democrats do. So that $5 mil in pension is chump change compared to the $5trillion increase in the national debt we've seen over the last 8 years. And don't forget, McCain is a 3 time cancer survivor....there's a good chance he won't complete 2 terms, and then we'll be stuck with his presumably younger VP. There go your savings right out the door! Now that I think of it, we could actually save a lot of money by NOT electing someone who is going to declare war on yet ANOTHER country that never attacked us. Hey, this economic analysis thing is actually starting to make sense!
