First you complain about spending the
money on the war, and then you say you are not comforted by the fact that the
money is going into our economy. (So what’s the beef?) You
have correctly stated that the money was never spent on the things you say the
money could have been spent on instead. (So what’s the beef?)
You complain that when we fight a war, suddenly the money is there. If
you find out that you have a life-threatening cancer that needs cutting out,
don’t you get it done whether or not the money is “there”?
It’s all about self defense. (Remember “9-11”???) BTW,
pork and graft are the main elements in D.C. social programs that you wish we
had more of. (So wake up!) izzy From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] It is no secret that our type of economy is a wartime
economy. I believe that
this fact was a driving force in the initial phases of the Vietnam
War. I am not comforted by the remark "This money is going
into our economy ..." If I were going to make some sort of argument from those numbers, I would
say some thing to to this effect: we have needed these dollars for
the items listed for years and years. They are never allocated. But when we
fight a war, suddenly
the money is there. When we speak of the "economy,"
I beleive that we included a thing called "pork" and another little
item called "graft." JD |
