1. Well...HEAD UP KICK...

I'm no longer a C-Span Fan after glued to it through the Bush years ...but
K&R!

2. Saw this today... wow factor

56 cents of every dollar we give (or are forced to give) to the Federal Govt... goes to the Military and secret surveillance departments.

No wonder there is no money for roads or schools.

3. +1000000

Are we that paranoid, that frightened? Or can we just not think of anything better to do with our money?

[saras]

5. Neither. WE have no voice in it. The ones who profit sell arms to the other side too.

[Larry Ogg]

6. Change the word "we" to... "the owners", and I think it pretty much explains it.

Are the owners that paranoid, that frightened? Or can they just not think of anything better to do with our money?

Adding to that is my guess, they have to keep a close eye on those they are victimizing, as well as those who don't believe in their conjured up boogie men.

4. And I bet if they got more tax money

they only increase the percentage going to war/security. This is one reason am not to eager to push the Buffett rule. My guess is that they are trying to round up enough cash to attack Iran and finish off Syria and I do not want that.
