In all truth we spend to much money on the military there is money that could go int NASA and Schooling and money that can go back
into the economy and some to actually start paying off our debt. The biggest thing is we love spending money on the military we just never
see where the funding truly goes. We can half or just take away 75% from the military budget and we still would dominate the world while we use that 75% on stuff that truly matters and what's left over can go back into the military a good 15% to 19%. I mean for fucks sakes we still use books in class rooms instead of computers.
Here's one aspect of the problem that never gets talked about enough.

Quote:The Pentagon's Biggest Overrun: Way Too Many Generals
Quote:However, studies that I started years ago show that there are way too many generals for troops, planes and ships and these generals also make sure that their turf and positions are protected. They are costing us far more than their high salaries, retirements and perks; they are using their positions to protect the status quo in the military.
We need more indians and fewer chiefs.
And that's across the board in virtually all phases of our government.
The next president could have a federal hiring freeze, and layoff (fire) 10,000 federal employees a week indefinitely and the sun would still be coming up a year from now.
Really.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
