On lighter note, but just as serious, what is your take on all of our "wars". Those things are sucking down some bucks as well. Just curious on your thoughts.

I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

IMHO...there hasn't been a "real" war since WWII everything since then has been a police action, sticking our nose in other countries busness...or "conspiracy alert"...the MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX making money...which is good for the economy![]()
Don't get me started LOL Look at a map of our bases. We have circled the Middle East. When push comes to shove, WE have our hands on the spigot!
We still have bases in Japan and Germany...WHY!
Why do we drag these things out? If we really wanted to WIN,We could blow these countries off the face of the earth.sad but true

Leave it BETTER than you found it!
That's what you call a lighter note? heh. Short version:
An extraordinary waste of national blood and treasure that has screwed us economically and drastically hurt our future foreign relations for decades to come. If we had set out to custom design a foreign policy with the specific goal of turning Iran into the regional dominant power while simultaneously expanding the pool of militant islamicists and terrorists, you could find no better policy than the one we pursued during the first decade of this millennium. In this area, I am distinctly influenced by a paleo conservative philosophy.
