everyone's talking about the economy but nobody is talking about defense expense

[Jeffersons Ghost]

We're in two war-like occupations that are are costing us far more than our prosperity: But all media and politicians want to talk about is jobs that Bush sent to China.

1. So called "defense" expenditures are unfunded liabilities

The bankers love it. Putting the tax payer further and further into debt. Now if we can only route that prefunded social security revenue to wall street, then everything will be perfect for them, while we get rethuglican 'austerity' and the rich get to keep their Bush tax cuts.

2. Our Iraq war expense decreased

Unfortunately, the Afghanistan war took its place.

I am trying to figure out what activist group has the plan for what war/defense spending should be cut first.

3. That's why BushCo never included it in the budget.

It didn't cost anything. :sarcasm:
