We should have cut military expenditures by 50 percent a dozen years
ago, and kept on cutting. What a colossal waste of national resources.

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.


The $2 bill trick was done by the Air Force when I was about 13 out at Whiteman AFB, MO. It opened a
lot of eyeballs. The damn things were everywhere.

As to the 50% reduction in our military, China would love it. But, from what I hear, if you get a
decent job with the government, socialism isn't bad.

You should know...you sucked on the taxpayers' teats your entire working
career.

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.

So we should have socialized our industries, and should be turning out high-priced goods nobody would buy. Yeah, that's the ticket.

You need to stick to things you know, like writing fiction.

You really need to move out of Stupidville, South Carolina. Nowhere did
I say we should have "socialized our industries."

But they wouldn't. The greedy unions demand far too much to make the US
competitive.

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!
