Remember the old saying “Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day, teach a man to fish, he'll eat for a lifetime”. Well as long as we continue to shelter ourselves by finding ways to keep oil prices low, we will have no desire implement the alternatives that are available.

Clinton didn't cut military budgets and it was a Republican Congress for most of his term. Clinton limited the growth of the military budget as best he could, though. Dick Cheney actually cut budgets drastically when he was secretary of Defense, however. Besides, boring old army equipment is so last century when you can spend billions and build an economy someplace like Connecticut's former democrat, Joe Lieberman, making nuclear subs, tanks, jet fighter parts and things that cost Big Bucks. Boeing doesn't do too badly (WA, PA, IL, AL, KS), and Northrop (CA, CT, TX, AL). But those guys don't make deuce and a halfs, Bradleys, HMMWVs, utility rigs, track rigs, manpads, and all the other little stuff. And Future Soldier is still coming, if you want your genetic material scrambled and mixed into cyberspace. “I say we pull back and nuke the site from orbit, just to be sure.” A prophetic statement from Aliens, one of several.
It's good that people like Independent Mind can go against partisanship while forgetting which side of the bread has the butter on it. Probably an 11-B and not one of those guys sitting in a missile silo drinking coffee all day. Republicans spread that budgetary wealth away from the troops, and keep doing so to this day, because the money is in big projects and not troop support or materiel. Wonder why your M4 is Italian and your pistol is Austrian? Because there is no more profit to be made by making them in the US.

Paedor you have absolutely no idea what your talking about. I am a veteran, was brought up a military brat, and BY FAR the worst years were in the Clinton years. It got so bad we didn't even hardly have the equipment in order to run any exercises. Vehicles were depserately in need of parts, but there were no funds. Just broken down, and nowhere to put them. Regardless if it was Bush or anyone else the past eight years, it was an enourmous (and very expensive) job to bring the military back to where it should have been all along. So your shortsighted, nit wit comments have no place here.

And obviously it has not seeped into the little peanut in your head called a brain that the gentleman pictured above was dating another man who was an executive at Freddie Mac while he presided OVER the oversight committee.. Talk about conflict of interest. He was cornholing his boyfriend, while cornholing the taxpayers. How convienent that you don't even acknowledge the facts.

To you dip S%^&'s it's always about Republican or Democrat. Your to dunb to see that regardless of what you choose things won't change. You are doing exactly what they want, fight over party affiliation or the "candidate" while your lost on the policies and ideas you should be more concerned about. I'm sad I ever put my life on the line for knuckle heads like you.

Sheesh. Just wait until after the election. There will be far fewer Republicans and many more Democrats. The Democrats can then ignore the Republicans and do what is in the COMMON GOOD rather than serve the special interests of a handful of superwealthy criminals.

The Republicans had their time in charge, destroying the best things of governance (FEMA, environmental stewardship, the VA, even the military) without ever consulting or including the Democrats. Time for rollback and payback.
