We need to spend the money on OUR TROOPS FIRST... They need equipment, pay raise. Like they say "look out after number one " then others.
Absolutely.
We have no ABM system, no robust anti-bioweapon program, and we have been very slack in advanced weapon designs.
We spend $1.1 trillion every year on domestic welfare (source: U.S. Budget "Human Resource" superfunction).
We cancel billions of debt.
We send billions more globally in aid to terrorist nations.
This crap has to stop. 50% of the people in this nation pay no taxes, yet our government tries to play mommy and daddy to the entire world while we look forward to a soon to be $9 billion debt. In additon, most of the nations we send money to hate us, and many funnel this "aid" into terrorist organizations who are killing us.
The people of this nation are insane to let their country rape and pillage the taxpayers like this.
My son is in the Air Force and has been to the desert many times. He gets most of what he needs.
These tsunami victims need our help, I, for one, can't turn my back on them and sleep well at night.
