3. Those billions of borrowed funds

Could be better spent on our nation's infrastructure, social services, and job creation, which results in getting a return on the money. It is like beefing up security for a bank to protect it from robbers, while it is being burned down by arsonists.

4. I know a lot of people who used to work in electronics manufacturing that work under those contracts

Too bad they couldn't be building something useful versus stuff to kill people.

[FormerDittoHead]

6. ...the vast majority of which will never be used.

I mean, if we HAD to kill people with the stuff to "protect our interests" that would be a shame, but most of this stuff WILL NEVER BE USED.

Seriously - it's better to build bridges which will rarely be used than build the vast majority of this stuff.

5. I can't HEAR MYSELF THINK over all of the OUTRAGE from the right over all this gov't spending!
