148. I agree with you about cutting the military

I wish there was more of a movement for cutting the military. If we could cut there, much of the pressure on other parts of the budget would evaporate.

But even if we cut the military in half, that only saves three or four hundred billion a year. I'm all for going off the cliff too, and that would raise maybe five hundred billion a year. That still leaves a deficit, and no money for a WPA program. We could create a WPA program and continue to run a big deficit, but then its only a matter of time until the country collapses.

I don't know if you were responding to me about changing the CPI. I didn't discuss that. I don't think we should do that unless its a last resort after first cutting the military and raising taxes and seeing what else could be cut first.

I've never told anybody they should support Obama no matter what. I don't expect people to hide their disagreements either, except if they want to support a third party candidate during elections.
