Romney wants to increase the defense budget by more than 50 percent over current levels

36. I disagree

People thought Donald Rumsfeld and the last lot were going to go in and revolutionize the military complex. They didn't. Instead the industrial military complex is at sort of a cross roads. It's been like 12 years since good new ideas and programs were started. The war has drained most of the budget away from creativity into just basic war making. A lot of big named complex companies you'd think would be loving it right now are hurting and cutting jobs. The industrial military complex is how the country does things like science and Aerospace as well as build aqueducts and things like that. 10+years of foreign wars hasn't been any kinder to those in it than the rest of society. Even the military industrial complex is wondering why people like Romney want to keep building boats that can't float, planes no one wants to fly and fight foreign wars no one will win. I think most in it would just as happy building that Apollo project on alternative energy. I mean the complex will do anything even good things if you tell it that's where the money is.
