No, you are carrying out the constitutional requirement to provide for the defense of our country.



When you take over 300 billion dollars (half of the military budget) and use it to make refrigerators and lawnmowers (what you proposed), you are socializing industry.







There's nothing in the Constitution that specifies how much must be

spent on the military.

There's also nothing in the Constitution authorizing socialization of US industry.


No one is suggesting that. The conclusion you reached is a figment of
your imagination. Were you edu-ma-cated in South Carolina?

Gotta attack the person when losing, Harry?

WATOABH!
