g infrastructure.

I will give you half of that. I agree some of the money could be spent
on infrastructure but you would be trading high tech jobs for blue
collar construction jobs.
We wouldn't need as much of that education you are talking about.
You don't need a bachelors degree to run a loader.

Education is a pursuit on its own...as we have discussed before, I think
there is far more use for education than learning a trade.

The Russians and the Chinese together are still spending on their
military only a small amount of what we spend. I'm not advocating that
we eliminate military spending, but I do think we should seriously cut
back on it each year until it is at a level that is no more than half of
what we currently spend.

Their philosophy is different. They are willing to spend blood more
than money. The US wants to have a war where no GIs are killed. That
is not cheap.

It's also absurd.
