Well, I suppose we have our own ways of wasting billions of tax dollars
on our military.

For the money we've *wasted* on the military in Iraq, we could have
rebuilt New Orleans, fixed the levees for real, made many needed
infrastructure improvements all over the United States, provided more
funding for S-CHIP, and sent thousands of needy students to college.

The worst thing this country has done since 1945 is waste so much of its
precious resources on the military. We could have done just as well with
much less. Might have kept us out of Vietnam, might have kept us out of
Iraq.

Spending unnecessary money on the military is worse than pouring it down
the drain.

Isn't the military one of the biggest single employers in the US? What do
you think our economy would look like if it wasn't there?

You aren't *really* that dumb are you?

My personal opinion is that a special 'war tax' should be applied when a
president wants to go to war.
It would be a pay as you go situation...not downloading the costs on future
generations by adding to the national debt.

In the US, that's basically how the personal Federal income tax started in
WWII. Before 1943 very few people paid an income tax (3 percent of the
population) and there was no employee withholding tax.

Please don't give our politicians another tax idea until they get rid of
some of the existing ones.

Two rational posts in a row

What is Rec.Boats coming to ;-)

I agree Harry, 2 trillion and counting, would have solved a lot of
problems here in the US although I still wouldn't like the idea that
it was all borrowed money.
Bowwowing money to pour down a rat hole in Iraq is simply
unconscionable.


It's part of the Communist conspiracy to bury us. But this time in debt.

Further, if we want to give our military something useful to do, modify
the laws a bit and put 'em to work on the borders...of the USA. Most
Americans would be glad to see U.S. solders, marines, whatevers, on our
borders, keeping illegals and terrorist wanna be's out.

Sorry about that, I saw Barbara "Wawa" today ... or was it Elmer Fudd?

Watch it Harry, You sound like Pat Buchanan now. Were you one of the
1607 Palm Beach County voters in 2000?

I agree about the chicoms simply buying us out instead of fighting us
in a war although they would win a WWII style war with us right now.
They probably have better code breakers and they certainly can out
produce us (the real reasons we won the war)



I've always favored protecting our borders, all of our borders. I'm not
in favor of rounding up and deporting "illegals" who are working hard
and trying to make it in this country.
