...Wow. That was some Post that you posted there FT<br /><br />This is the kind of stuff "liberals" and "progressives" like me have been shouting about for years, only to be poo-pooed by people like you, as if the problem didn't exist, or worse, that the solution was more of what they were doing to cause the problem in the first place.<br /><br />Historically, it's all very clear now.<br /><br />The military became a permanent top expenditure from WWII on. There was an entire economic sector built on that war and to this day we still have it.<br /><br />It is extremely expensive. Right now, about 1.6 trillion a year in total. 1.6 TRILLION A YEAR.<br /><br />It's insane.<br /><br />Granted, throughout the period since WWII military spending was usually not quite that high, but it was always in that top three with Social Security, and later Medicare.<br /><br />But unlike SS and Medicare, the military is not funded by direct taxation. We have no War Tax. The money is spent by discretion of the government from the public treasury.<br /><br />When I hear people call SS a "Ponzi Scheme," I chuckle. When people say Medicare is "unsustainable," I feel sorry for those people's souls. But when I hear the same people who say those things then say say, "We need MORE military spending," I think I'm listening to a paranoid moron.<br /><br />What all this gets to is what We the People spend OUR money on. 140-something bases around the world? Or a new interstate-integrated, fail-safe power grid? Military occupations or more and less expensive schools? Being the center of the world or taking care of our own?<br /><br />That's the question. That's why I am a "liberal" or whatever the heck else you'd like to call meThe Reasonable Onehttp://reasonable.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-54417230236189318992018-03-07T15:53:36.019-05:002018-03-07T15:53:36.019-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-6970434852924666582018-03-07T12:28:18.013-05:002018-03-07T12:28:18.013-05:00It doesn't.
