How's the war economy working out for you now?
If you go off of online articles from mainstream newspapers, radio, and TV you would swear the American population is far more concerned with what public employees earn in wages and retirement than any tax dollar spent on the Military Corporate Complex.

Tell me it isn't true.
Tell me the American people are not so stupid as to turn a blind eye toward the war economy that is raping and pillaging our economy while siphoning trillions of tax dollars into the hands of the few.
Tell me the American people know better than to go after their fellow working citizens who teach their kids, repair their infrastructure, and save their lives.

Okay...I'll stop now.

1. I'm actually hearing more and more wingers agreeing that the MIC budget is too large.
Of course, it had to get to quadruple of a semblance of a defensible budget for their eyes to start opening.

2. Soldiers are public employees too. Lets cut their salaries instead...
I'm sure that would be acceptable since they want to bash public employees so much.

4. That's the whole point: keep military salaries higher so you have a stable source
of cannon fodder.

6. They say that Ponzi was believed by all also.
Some people have a way about them that makes you want to believe what they tell you...
