Budget cuts, you're the President.

Yep, we'd be forced to end certain "wars" in certain countries ... too damn bad. Future increased budgetary allocations would only be considered if the continental US were directly attacked by an aggressive hostile force.

Cin, 8% wouldn’t even cover military retiree pay. DoD spent about $713 billion in 2009 including around $200 billion on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Retiree pay for 2009 was about $73 billion. That’s a little more than 10% right there. That number is pay only. It doesn’t include healthcare costs.

Quote:The CEOs of both Health Insurance Companies and the Pharmaceuticals would be lined up in the streets and shot on site for crimes against humanity. (this one I'm not fucking kidding about. They are COVERED in blood money and I would volunteer to do it myself) Reporting RECORD FUCKING PROFITS year after year after year!!! Mother fucking blood sucking cock smoking pieces of maggot shit!

Pharmaceuticals do earn large profits. The industry average is around 20% of revenue. That’s right below networking and communications equipment manufactures and Internet service/retailers. The health insurance industry doesn’t have huge profit margins though. While they do let people die by denying life saving services in some cases; earning huge profits is not something they are guilty of.
