I couldn’t get past this so if it was addresses I apologize, but how does the military give America less return than other government funded organizations?
If we didn’t have a military America would not exist at all, we certainly wouldn’t be speaking English, but Japanese or German. I think the military gives us the most return…for God sakes how many senators give their lives to pass a law??
We throw money away like its toilet paper and our ground troops can’t even get the funding to buy the gear needed to survive road side bombs.
You should be thanking the military for your freedoms not complaining they spend too much money.
Another grand slam!
Zo rocks!

There is such a thing as too much of a good thing.
The very same way that too much water can become dangerous, too much military spending also can.
To argue that you cannot drown because you need water to survive holds, ahem, no water.
I think he has some good points, I also think he is dead wrong on some points

Just like other government funded organization…inefficeincy and waste.
I don’t think you quite understand ROI. Do you think that if spent twice as much and opened twice as many bases overseas, we would get double the return?
Yep. Some of that toilet paper is being thrown away by the military as well. You don’t think keeping 700 bases in 130 countries is more important than gear needed in combat do you?
Can’t we do both?

Well too much for me is when you can actually print it and I am very much against that.
I am also against fractional reserve banking for the exact same reason.

We agree, we have to regulate people that have the money and know how to manipulate the markets to their benefit. As far as the banks they say the easiest way to rob a bank is to own it.

We do not agree.
As far as I am concerned everybody can make as much money as he likes and I do not know how to distinguish “manipulating a market” from “making a living”.
I know that stealing is wrong though and that is what the two examples I brought up are.
Last one…
Liberals bad, conservatives good.
What a tool. Unfortunately for us, the two-party system really does work.

You have an opinion about the way things ought to be! Please enlighten us “idiots” about why we are wrong!
Please!? I’m totally lost without guidance…

Well, there is the libertarian perceptive that they are all wankers and should leave us the fuck alone.
