Seriously, our Gov collected RECORD REVENUES last year, they don't need more money...
Record revenues and needed revenues are two different things. If we did not put two wars on credit card, things might be different.
War is expensive. Just think how much more the American people would have if all that money got spent at home.
But the war machine keeps on steam rolling. When war becomes a countries only form of income there are enemies everywhere.
And all need fighting.
I wonder what uniting tragedy will face the American people next.
Exactly, while prudes are talking about those on welfare, Lockheed-Martin got F-35 program without standard competition. 327 billion dollars later, we have something that looks like plane, turns like MIG-21, and will cost arm and leg. It is designed to be Cold Warrior while we are fighting goat f.....s.
Boeing sold more C-17 to Air Force then we needed, like 40% more, etc, etc.
Dwight Eisenhower said that one of the greatest challenges to the U.S. democracy is military-industrial complex, but for many, someone on welfare is much bigger threat to the U.S. then Lockheed-Martin or Grumman.
