We are at war. Much of that is due to 1. Increased defense spending, and 2. Shortfalls due to the economy.

And Un-Constitutional Spending....

[dirtboy]

We are at war. Much of that is due to 1. Increased defense spending, and 2. Shortfalls due to the economy.

So we therefore should not be increasing domestic spending on items such as a tax cut for people who don't pay taxes, AIDS money for Africa (when abstinence programs in Uganda have been proven most effective), or a prescription drug benefit for the wealthiest segment of the population. We should instead be asking folks to make a few sacrifices in their pet government benefits so we can wage a war without running a $450 billion deficit.

Thanks for making my point for me.
