Or better yet, perhaps when they further break down the money that goes to the military so everyone can see exactly where it is being spent. It is so easy to say take money from the military, but never exactly saying where.
SO what should it be???? Pay cuts for the soldiers, less ammunition, less fuel, less vehicles, less clothing, less housing, or what!!!!!
dmk | I would say a start would be fewer invasions of foreign nations every decade. That should cut a few trillion off the budget. And hey the money may even be used to buy food for the poor. Or maybe by permanantly improving public schools and colleges. Or how about a fund that subsidizes all education. Or maybe free healthcare for poor people.
Give the soldiers the same pay, same ammo aetc etc. Just stop sending them out on ineffective missions. Yeah that's right.. i said ineffective. none of the wars started in this decade have made you americans safer. Your lives are more in danger now than ever. And they wouldn't have been if the bush admin didn't sonsistently do things that drive people to homicidal rage. Love for all, Hatred for none |
