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.
1. 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.
2. Are you attempting to minimize Obama's spending or say that it something other than frighteningly enormous?
3. 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?

1. Then why the hell did Bush I and Clinton close military bases
in this city thereby SAVING govt. money? THis type of blanket
statement is just pure BS. Radar totally locked in.
2. Scares me to death... but so does having the flow of money
grind to a halt. What will happen if we let these large banks fail?
Nothing? There are tons of diff. opinions on what will happen
immediately after they fall.
3. Fine. Then call a frggn spade a frggn spade. Haliburton is a
Nationalized company? As are other defense contractors that
build specialty items. And is it possible that they pull a little
too much money from taxpayers? So they are the only ones...
is it possible that they cheat,oh forget about it because they
are the only ones that can build. Good for the economy my arse.
They steal money from taxpayers just like people who dont belong on
welfare.
