Now more than ever we need a strong military it is a shame the events of the past week haven't woken up those people who say "gut defense".

Fanny and Freddy also got bonuses and the current administration also gave the Federal Reserve more power.
the too big to fail term is a joke GM was too big to fail,Fanny Freddy is too big to fail, student loans is too big to fail.
The next bubble burst will be the same as the last one they created the problem to begin with,.edit on 15-9-2012 by neo96 because: (no reason given)

WhaT?
Maybe people need to wake up at the trillions we currently spend and continue to spend on social engineering as in free homes,free educations,free healthcare,free cell phones etc.
Current us federal spending on entitlements alone is over 2.2 trillion dollars.
70 million on SS
70 million on medicare
50 million on medicaid
25 million on unemployment
47 million on welfare
A student loan debt at over 1 trillion dollars.
Fanny and Freddy still over over 6 trillion in housing mortgages but hey go on gut the only thing that makes all that social engineering possible.
Relative safety to have a productive economy and secure that resource that there is no economy without.

Actually is not bad to own your home, buy a new car just because they are assemble in the US the parts are not made in the US and higher education.

You know the hypocrisy of political whores vs the trusting in government and political party followers. Due to the fact that Obama hoax of defense cuts is hitting my family personally right now, I took the time to do the research.
He is actually increasing the welfare state with cuts on employment in the US while cutting the contractors power to create new employment, but at the same time favoritism within contracting agencies is been abuse, and corruption is rampant, with under budgets to still do the job and outsourcing within state lines.
At the same time, the almost trillion of dollars on Federal aid to foreign countries 40+ should have Americans raising their arms in the air in protest, specially when our tax payer dollars is mostly funneled to the same countries now that are having violence riots and have killed Americans.
The hypocrisy has no end, those countries will still get our hard earned tax payer dollars and incresing yearly.
People keep putting their glass colored glasses and live in hope while been robbed blind.

It is not the military's job to handle protestors just like OWS who handled that?
Local police that is why they have them or their military.edit on 15-9-2012 by neo96 because: (no reason given)

No over there.
Not here.
IF a protest agianst a foreign embassy occurred in the Us the locals would be responsbile for their safety
Works the same way in other countries.

Yeah, The Army probably should not have spent 5 Billion on the new "Army Combat Uniform" That they addmit was a waist. There is so much waist in the military is isn't funny. They need to have a "budget cut" so they will learn how to stick to a budget. So does every other alphabet organization of the feds.
Get rid of the Dept. of indoctrination, oops! I mean, Dept. Education, SS and a few others and put that money into "defence"
