REP. KUCINICH: I'm saying that we should not be borrowing money from China to run a war in Iraq. We need to change our spending policies in many ways.
First of all, stop war. Most of the people on this stage voted consistently to fund a war we should have never gotten in the first place.
Change our trade laws. We need to get out of NAFTA and the WTO and go back to bilateral trade -- (applause) -- conditioned on workers' rights, human rights, and the environment, and stop driving an $800 billion trade deficit.
We need to have health care for all, all Americans in a not-for- profit health care system. That's going to help the gentleman with his beauty salon and the small business, when you have a chance to health care at a fraction of what you're paying now and everything's covered.
And then, finally, environment. I say we can create millions of news jobs with a new WGA inspiring technologies for wind and solar and insulation on a domestic basis. We can create new wealth. I want to create new wealth and I want to stop wasting the money where we're wasting it --
MR. BLITZER: All right.
REP. KUCINICH: -- or losing the wealth in our trade policies.
What is "create new wealth"?
I call it Power Independence.
Ron Paul can see the same thing; I'm sure. His approach intends to create a race to the top by eliminating the barriers in place against transparent competition. Currently the oil and military companies are subsidized. Once they have to compete on a level playing field there will be a race to the top i.e. Power Independence.
The race will no longer be aiming at the bottom i.e. torture, rape, murder, mass torture, mass rape, mass murder, fraud, falsehood, violence, and other means to the same end i.e. the bottom.
