1. Republicans want to overpay the Pentagon and shaft the American people

Democrats know the Pentagon budget needs heavy trimming but want to preserve public works.

And never the twain will meet.

We just have to hope people wake up enough to throw the Republicans out in two years.

Otherwise, welcome to the present and future of our once great nation, now reduced to nothing by a bunch of squalling crybabies with teabags stapled all over them.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
