(2,424 posts)I'll give a couple answers to this nonsense.
1) If it is already paid for, then we can raise taxes on the wealthiest earners with no foreseeable added expense to them. If this is a cheap affair, it wouldn't hurt them at all to pick up the entire tab.
2) We spend more on our defense than the next ten countries combined. Further, this doesn't account for an additional federal bureaucracy added under Bush to militarize our local police. If our military adventurism is prepaid, then we are undoubtedly spending way too much on defense as we are going beyond defense and funding adventurism.
Given points 1&2, the people that are defending the cutting of Social Security, SNAPS, and federal pensions to fund this adventurism can shove it up their ass. Their priorities are all fucked up. Being a "team player" has warped their minds beyond comprehension. They have coopted the Democratic party and dare us to elect Rand Paul daily. Such arrogance will not be forgotten.
The answer, of course, isn't Rand Paul.
The ballot is filled with candidates. You know what I am getting at.
Vote, work, and donate your conscious. Just do it!
