We should have cut military expenditures by 50 percent a dozen years

The real problem is that is probably the biggest single jobs program.







I was just in Southern Md and the Navy points out that if they closed



Pax River the whole economy down there would dry up and blow away. You



are certainly not supporting that area with a few crab shacks and



fishing charters.



The CO even thought of paying everyone on the base with $2 bills for a



month so everyone else would understand where the money they have,



comes from.







You hear the same thing everywhere there is a military base.



You also have all if the defense contractors, that are fairly evenly



spread across the whole country. There are very few congressmen who



want to lose a widget factory in their district.







It is the kind of Keynesian socialism lefties like you usually



support.







DoD is a drug that the whole country is addicted to.















As I stated, we should have started cutting the military drastically at



least a dozen years ago, and turned our attention towards rebuilding our



industries and infrastructure, instead of pouring it down the toilet of



military expenditures. Those military hardware factories could be



turning out components for high speed rail lines or lawnmowers or



refrigerators.







Eisenhower tried to warn us about the dangers of the military



industrial complex in the 50s but JFK started the arms race as soon as



he got in power and it went from there.



The "missile gap" was his big lie. It was the first WMD scare that



wasn't true. JFK knew it wasn't true at his first national security



briefing but we still kept building more weapons.







Wow, so JFK and Bush have something in common!



Not just Bush. Remember these words?

None of those were POTUS.

The second person on the video was Clinton. He was POTUS, remember?
