As for getting out of Afghanistan, I don't agree with it, but it has nothing to do with gutting the military.
So if increasing taxes isn't obvious, than how will all these proposals by the NDP be accomplished. They all cost more money. The only other things I can think of how to fund these programs are to either cut other programs (highly unlikely under an NDP government) or to stop paying down our debt. Unfortunatly under an NDP government I can see this being done, which is not fiscally responsible at all.
