Digging up the old Flu ping list for something which may be of interest. (Thanks, decimon!)

Thanks for the ping.

I’ll add my ebola/bring out your dead ping list to the mix...

I have been waiting for this type of editorial to pop up:

Debt Crisis: Military Spending And Wars Collapsing America Excerpt:

* * * America spends, by far, more than any other nation—now averaging around $500 to $700 billion a year—on military expenditures annually. In fact, the United States military budget accounts for over 41 percent of the world’s annual military expenditures—some say the true percentage is 47 percent. By comparison, China, which is second in the world, in military spending, averages around $80 billion a year. England and France spend around $65 billion a year * * *
For the past several months, Washington Republicans have engaged in hyperventilating hysterics about the need to curtailing America’s debt. But the debt debate amounted to nothing more than a grandstanding theater of the absurd. No serious discussion of the debt can occur without tackling the exorbitant amount of money that is wasted on war. Moreover, lack of jobs and growth are the primary problems now, not the debt. * * *

Insiders in DC know and understand more $$$ Trillions are wasted each day on military and black budget projects than other BIG BUDGET programs where our government wastes money. But nobody wants to talk about obvious ways to save $$$ Trillions in DC. Knowing and understanding a significant problem exists is not the same as taking steps to cure the problem.

And corporations involved in military and black ops enterprises also are willing to spend $$$ millions on lobbying efforts to bribe corrupt, spoiled and inept political clowns like Barney Frank and Nasty Pelosi.

How much is wasted every year on special private jets transporting hyper-inflated egos with fat @sses in luxury ________?
