22. You say that fiscally and economically you may differ

from the democrats but you leave the social path open. What I think you are missing is that at some point all these points converge.

Social responsibility for the less fortunate members of our society costs money. Money that has to be spent with no expectation of return on investment, other than our obligations as a society to care for all our citizens. Is that something a fiscal conservative support? How does your view on economic conservatism line up with the Obama administration view that we must commit to stimulus spending to ward of a recession. This is in contrast to the republican view that only tax cuts for the job creators (aka the top 2%) can get us out of the mess that was caused by the last tax cut we gave them.

However, whatever you views, I appreciate your willingness to come here and discuss these issues. This type of conversation has been missing for the national dialogue. Thank you.
