You Do KNow That If We Ended This War Today They Would Have Plenty More Cash Flow Available?
So why not? Once again we are forced to pay for that which we the people do not support and which obviously does little to support us personally and or our country's infrastructure which is being ignored day by day...will another major bridge collapse wake people up enough to take to the streets in outrage? Or perhaps another major natural disaster that once again leaves the citizens of this country on their own?

Just my two cents...and perhaps the CEO's can give back their yearly bonuses to pay for thier fuck-ups and quit blaming we the people by forcing us further and further down the rabbit hole of towards a third world like country?

4. Because their plan is to bankrupt the country and do away with
all the thing the New Deal put into place - the war is helping them the most.

5. Perhaps they took note from Mexico's president and are using the same blue print...
all those Americans who once turned up their noses at Mexican citizens looking for a better life will soon find themselves working the fields along side them in an effort to feed their families if they don't get their heads out of the land of political biases and false religious rhetoric and soon, I'm afraid we don't have that much time to stop the train wreck from occuring...

6. Defund the Pentagon.
Edited on Wed Oct-01-08 11:07 PM by PDJane
Bring the troops home. Dismantle the empire.

Doing so would free up money, give the chagos islands and Hiroshima back to the people who own it, end much of the world's poverty, free up a great deal of money to fix the problems that militarism has caused, and end a a lot of the pollution in this world and out of it.

The US military is the biggest black hole for money in the world...........and the largest single polluter on the planet. Want to save the oceans and the land and cut down on global warming? Fastest way to do it.

9. The war machine is your right the biggest black hole for the people but for the corp
machine its more than profitable and lasting.....so by ending wars we not only save on our personal monthly bills via taxes but such can also help in the threat of speeding up global warming..intesting...proof such information will largely be ignored..for the top brass money makers can't stop the need they have for having a never ending cash flow regardless of the cost to not only the ordinary citizens but the furture of our planet as well...

7. $10B per month = $120B/per year = $480B/Obama's first term

Leaving Iraq pays for the bailout in 6 years.

11. I belive in my heart of hearts that the very fact that this mess is apparently
unable for even the most knowledgeable economics figures to trully get a grasp on proves beyond a reasonable doubt that the waters have been so muddied with litter by the powers that be that there is much much more going on behind closed doors that if an outsider will just never be able to get it...

So who are those on the inside and who honestly benefits?, Those are the ones to follow if we have a hope in hell of getting to the bottom of the truth.
