The situation, as you say, is untainable, and more and more people will open their eyes to this. What's next? Defense budget cuts or an empire that slips in more and more dysfunction, social unrest and irrelevance.Matissehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08386721910546405609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19923729.post-50666387680299565572010-03-20T07:01:38.970-04:002010-03-20T07:01:38.970-04:00Thank you Susan! Two years ago I asked a Republic...Thank you Susan! Two years ago I asked a Republican acquaintaince exactly what she thought killling other people cost? Going to "war" is an expensive pastime, and we are now paying for it. I read a few years ago somewhere online that our defense budget was almost over 60% I'm inclined to believe this figure since our infrastructure, education and everything in between is in disgraceful condition. You also mentioned internet access in this outstanding article Susan. I also recall reading somewhere that Europe refused dial up and DSL theorizing this would set their populations back technically light years. All our issues coupled with the lack of health care I would think, would stir the emotions and voices of rational thinking citizens. But instead, "they" follow in the quicksand steps of Faux hysterical news and believe that universal health care is some form of communism. We have slid backwards ever since the great Ronnie and are continuing the downward plunge at a frightening rate. I shudder to think where and when the big drop will be.DissedBeliefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18055548880061195929noreply@blogger.com
