tvashtarkatena Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 (edited) How bout we strike this fighter from the budget and all smoke a joint instead? Is there a single person in the United States that believes we even need this thing? F 18 and 15s seem to do a decent enough job of wreaking havoc in exotic vacation destinations.... I suppose when the Raelians finally attack we'll be ready. Edited May 27, 2011 by tvashtarkatena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlpineK Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 If you're going to wage war, you might as well be good at it. But if you spend all your money before war starts your new toys might not be that helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-spotter Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 War spending bankrupted the Soviets. That was a triumph of capitalism, right? If war spending bankrupts the US, will that also be a triumph of capitalism? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billcoe Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 As jb and other oppressives continually instructs, taxpayers in the US have unlimited money, no need to even consider our budget or debt..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-spotter Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 The advantage of being a bankrupt nation with a lot of weapons is that you can invade nations with money but no weapons and loot them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 ...taxpayers in the US have unlimited money, no need to even consider our budget or debt..... Hmm...I'm pretty sure that doesn't sound like anything jb has ever said (and he's said some weird-ass shit!). Can you send me a link to where he said that the taxpayers in the US have unlimited money, or where he said we shouldn't even consider our budget or our debt? I must have missed it.

tvashtarkatena Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 With 40% of the world's weapons and a military larger and more expensive than the next 10 nations combined, I think we might just be a bit too good at war right now. Funny how we still seem to be losing all of them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Conway Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 The advantage of being a bankrupt nation with a lot of weapons is that you can invade nations with money but no weapons and loot them. there's nothing worth pillaging, looting or raping in canada so what's the fun in an invasion?

Can you send me a link to where he said that the taxpayers in the US have unlimited money, or where he said we shouldn't consider our budget or our debt? I must have missed it. Yep, I missed that one too. Defense spending is a major part of US money problems. Sure we were the king after WW2, and telling the world what to do became a habit. The problem is maintaining dominance by building new toys and being the, "Decider," when it comes to new wars costs big bucks. Somehow I don't think we would have racked up the debt if we spent money on crazy things like education, health car, and other social programs. Of course Dick Cheney and his corporate buddies would have felt sad and neglected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
