Lower taxes, smaller government, and less regulation are the solution to economic problems, Rudy Giuliani, told an audience of appreciative Michigan Republicans at the Grand Hotel on Mackinaw Island tonight.
As president, he would keep tax cuts enacted by Bush and increase them, he said.
In his dinnertime talk he drew enthusiastic applause as he spoke of finding private sector solutions and cutting government services, and a milder response as he spoke about the war, which he said should be called, “the Islamist fascist war against us.”
“No war ever goes all right,” he said, “We have to remain on the offense … We must keep the Patriot Act, tough interrogation techniques, and electronic surveillance, and use military in the preemptive way that we have been doing.”
Giuliani said he was the candidate to defeat Hillary Clinton who he warned would institute socialized health care.
