On Energy & Oil: Incentives to develop alernatives, not for oil refineries

Mike on a National Energy Policy... “The President’s current attempts to make us less dependent on foreign oil, and to develop alternative sources of energy, is simply crisis management at its worst.because it is reacting belatedly to a situation we have known about for years. It would make far more sense to give tax breaks to encourage state-of-art energy policies for the future than to give tax breaks to oil industries to build new refineries which permit them to continue to profit from exploiting oil.

On Gun Control: We need better enforcement, not more gun laws

Mike on Gun Control... “As a district attorney, my office has prosecuted many illegal gun cases, and we know it is not the legally-possessed guns that cause danger to our citizens but the illegally- possessed guns. We don’t need more gun laws; we need better enforcement of existing gun laws and more funding for police to enforce those laws.”

On Homeland Security: Liberty and security are not mutually exclusive

Mike on Wiretapping... “As a district attorney who has had to apply for many wiretaps, I know that liberty and security are not mutually exclusive, and there are lawful ways that we can protect both.”

On Tax Reform: Tax cuts should be aimed at the working middle class

Mike on the Bush Tax Cuts... “I believe tax cuts should be aimed at the working middle class. Tax cuts should be aimed first at the working middle class, and the child tax credit should be made permanent. But I oppose tax credits to big oil companies, corporations and the wealthiest Americans at a time when we cannot balance the budget and are forced to make drastic cuts in student aid and health care.”

On War & Peace: We need a strategy for bringing the troops home from Iraq

We need a strategy for bringing the troops home. More remains to be done, but that is the job of the Iraqi people, not the US military. It’s time for us to recognize that our forces have accomplished all that they can reasonably accomplish and begin to work with the Iraqi government to draw down and redeploy our forces. We can’t cut and run, but keeping our troops in Iraq indefinitely will only breed resentment. 2006 should be a year for sovereignty in Iraq, 2007 a year for redeployment
