This is off the top of my head, so I'm sure I'm missing a few things from Kerry's speech last night:

-halve the deficit in four years
-40,000 more military personnel
-middle class tax cut
-lower the military reserve's involvement in deployments (he called this the "backdoor draft")
-healthcare for everyone
-no changes to Medicare
-tax breaks for small businesses
-tax breaks for non-outsourcing (or maybe penalties for outsourcers, that wasn't clear).

Question1: How is this going to be paid for?

Question2: Is it fair to hold him to these promises?

I'll try to be civil if you do.

Edit - I can't believe I misspelled paid.

He also stated that he would roll back tax cuts on those making over $200k a year. I think that's how he plans on paying for part of it.
