Social programs do nothing but make dependents.
I got it.
But in both areas we can find many instances of
incompetence and waste. You choose to emphasize
a certain type of waste. Liberals another.
And Obama has "unleashed (like Godzilla)" a spending
"spree" (shopping for women's lingere). Just tossing
dollars about randomly. No innuendo or opinion there.
The largest.
You got that right.
As far as who is supposed to build military items...
Apparently not INDEPEDENT private contractors. I guess
government run contractors, might as well be. Its getting
really hazy. But you might want a privatized military.

Stop your whining. How exactly do i know what fits my "model" before I read it? Just another attempt at discrediting the source rather than the issue.
Govt spending is generally wasteful by virtually ALL accounts. Remember there are 8500 earmarks we have not even delved into. How many of them wouldnt be considered wasteful except by the people that they benefit. Remember that unlike private business or individuals, the pols that direct the spending dont have much to gain by keeping the money.
You want to compare military spending and social programs? That is fine with me.
Lets see where to start. Military spending creates growth, benefits American businesses, provides good paying jobs, and provides tax revenue. Most social programs ****** growth, do zippo for American business, provide more govt mouths to feed, and eat up tax revenue.
Are you attempting to minimize Obama's spending or say that it something other than frighteningly enormous?
Just how many companies out there build tanks and attack fighters? It isnt fuzzy at all. People have complained about Hailburton except they always fail to point out that sometimes there is only one company that can do the job required. What then?
