Military Spending Reduction

[(=DK=)Samonuh]

I should post the tax and budget plan that I made a while back. You'd all hate it.

Yeah, it's true about the GI Bill. My future (? son-in-law is a Marine and had everything in place to take college courses starting this month. Got the bad news, and now has to put it off.

I wonder what the ratios would be for officers to enlisted in comparison to an analogous ratio in a private corporation.

My proposal has been to restructure what we spend our military money on so that the size and power of it doesn't go down much, we still give jobs (if not more of them) to Americans, and we spend less money on the military overall. But no one gives a [poo] what I think.

Actually, I do. However, this Administration is not interested in 'Balancing the Budget', or cutting back wasteful spending. They are 'all' about tax and spend. Where there's a cutback, they'll find a way to spend it elsewhere. They also want (as you saw by Obama's multi-state sequester scare tour..also very costly to do) to stick it to Republicans in any way possible, not just to get their way, but to spin this er to further destroy any conservative movement.

Recently, they cancelled all White House tours due to costs. But Obama's one trip Obama took to go play golf with Tiger Woods would have paid for an entire years of expenses for the White House tours. Go figure. Hypocritical? Absolutely. They have an Agenda, but it's on a course of self-destruction. All will suffer, because they can't have it both ways, and it pisses them off.

Switch the key words around and this could have been a liberal statement from a decade ago, and it would have been just as valid. Maybe both sides are just incredibly [poo]?

This is why I'm an Independent.

The two political parties should be Green and Libertarian. No debate on social issues.
