A $billion here, a $billion there
AlabamaBronco, I agree with you... I DON'T WANT the Government to help keep me afloat, I'll find another job. Look at other countries. Like what was already said. 93% employment is pretty dang good.
Another thing, since you pulled up our troop deployment, look where else our troops are. Probably on all 7 continents. Troop deployment is nothings, Peacekeeping missions are nothing, it happens all the time. That's why defense budget its the largest...

No, george, the Marine Corps does not tout themselves as a stepping stone into the civilian world. The Marine Corps is a personnal decision to serve your country in one of the most respected fighting forces in the world. They also give you the tools to receive an education. The Marine Corps expects you to take responsibility for your future. So once you leave active service, it's all on you.
Me personnaly, I enjoy a good debate on opposing views and topics. You sound like a smart guy.
Our government is made up of checks and balances.
Not one man or entity can decide what's good for every one else.
I believe in freedom of speech. And the rest of the constitution.
An unemployment rate of 3 to 5 percent is not bad at all.
Troop deployment to libera? Don't you mean niger?
I agree with you george. We don't need to go to niger.
Why? There's no American interest there. See, some people do agree with you.
I enjoy your threads george. But, this isn't one of your better ones. More complicated and perplexing issues are better.
Semper Fi,
zanny

It reminded me of the first leader of my party, Keir Hardy, in the early part of the 20th century.
He was a man who used to correspond with the Pankhursts, the great campaigners for women's votes.
And shortly before the election, June 1913, one of the Pankhursts sisters wrote to Hardy saying she had been studying Britain carefully and there was a worrying rise in sexual immorality linked to heavy drinking. So she suggested he fight the election on the platform of votes for women, chastity for men and prohibition for all.
He replied saying, “Thank you for your advice. The electoral benefits of which are not immediately discernible.”

Compared to spending $4 billion a month in Iraq (not including charges to non-military agencies), it is a little boring. But as a wise man said 'Watch the pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves'.
