You get out of three wars and until they hit the soil in the United States, let everyone else settle their differences.
Just imagine how wealthy America would be today IF we weren't in these BS wars.

That's a good start, for sure!
ReplyDeleteOne problem with all that(Not that I wouldn't like to see all our people home)is the unemployment numbers. Unemployment would fly through the roof when all those part time military people come home at one time. Maybe we could make them border agents.
ReplyDeleteanonymous 11:09, it would still be billions of dollars cheaper to pay the unemployment than it would be to stay at war.
ReplyDeletewait, wait. This coming from the "Obama is weak on defense" crowd?
ReplyDeleteWhile we're at it....stop the aid packages to the rest of the world....especially the ones that bad mouth us (OK that only leaves Leichtenstein...)!
ReplyDeletePut the returning soldiers to work fixing our infrastructure.
ReplyDeleteyou balance budgets & pay off debts
ReplyDeletewe said weak on DEFENSE....apparently not on OFFENSE.
ReplyDeletewith the money we'd save on wars, we would be able to create new jobs
ReplyDeleteHow quickly you have forgotten that the oldest war, going on ten years now, started on our soil...
ReplyDeleteThe war was brought to us so we really didn't have a choice. The problem is over taxing entitlements and out of control spending.
ReplyDeleteWe are not at war with Afghanistan, we are at war with Al Qaeda. They stay on the move. We need more homeland security, like at our southern border, not try to build puppet nations
ReplyDeleteOr you could just let the Bush tax cuts for the ultra-rich expire like they're suppsoed to, and tax rates will STILL be below what we paid under Reagan. There's half of the yearly total of the budget deficit right there. And I dare say fewer than 1% of the readers of this blog would be affected. Or are all of you making $250K or more?
ReplyDeleteCongress should print its own money interest free.
ReplyDeleteWhat we have instead is an inflation of our currency PLUS interest on top!
End the Fed
