Let's discuss 'Mike Smith — Senate Democrat agenda lofty, but what's the cost?'.

Talk about a legislative wish list. An agenda released by Indiana Senate Democrats last week included full-day kindergarten for every child, free textbooks for all students and universal access to health care. Then there were proposals to ensure that all Indiana residents can attend a state college or university, offer new tax credits and incentives and add police at the state and local levels.

'... They want to reward Indiana companies that do business with other Indiana companies...'

 Can't help but believe if the Senate Republicans has suggested this we would currently be hearing howls; claiming the Republicans were cozying up to big business again with loopholes for the rich.

Let me put this in perspective. I'd like to see many of the suggestions of this Democrat Senate sponsored agenda implemented, however I'm burdened by the realities of financing such projects. In spite of pipe dreams accompanying some of the ideas; I can't help but believe this will play out like a chess game with accusations directed at an opponent in a future election of voting down health care for all.
