tvashtarkatena Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Wow. A whopping 3% per year cut in our $700 billion military budget is actually controversial? Why even bother? HELLOOOOOO NATIONAL BANKRUPTCY! Quote

tvashtarkatena Posted January 27, 2011 Author Posted January 27, 2011 I favor the idea of a Nuclear Gun Club - wherein the wealthy purchase expensive vacation packages to fly to the arctic to dine on exotic endangered animals while watching surplus nukes detonate from the safety of an elaborate ice hotel outfitting with martini fountains.

Jim Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Some planners I work with recently compled a large, regional study on the effect of military bases on the surrounding communities. Yea, the typical tatoo parlors and bar fights; but it was surprising to them the number of military families that make use of social services such as food stamps, food banks, mental health clinics, health clinics. Part of scaling back the military balooning budget should be knocking back the amount of expensive toys, ovresea bases and adventures, and taking care of their own. Quote
