Ike vs Yikes!

[H2O Man]

13. Thanks, kentuck!

I agree 100%. That money needs to be invested in creating a better society -- the health care, education, in infrastructure that Eisenhower spoke of in the 1952 campaign. And in terms of education, among other important areas, in encouraging students to explore the science needed to harness "green" energy, for the good of all of the inhabitants of this planet.

There are good democrats who will fight for this. Unfortunately, there are also plenty of democrats who -- for a variety of reasons -- advocate for the military-industrial complex. In terms of "national security" in the most literal sense, you are definitely correct.
