Really, do we need to outspend the cumulative rest of the world on military expenditures for the sake of our economy?
Why not create incentives to encourage more production of intricate and expensive health care equipment and less weaponry? Do that and "voila", health care costs move downward, the world becomes safer and no jobs are lost!

That's the best idea that's ever been posted on this birther plagued website.
Yes and we could build great big super green stables in every state in every state to hold all the unicorns.Do they produce methane that could be a detriment.
rejean, I fully support a strong defense and every individual making up the front lines. I'm not suggesting we weaken our defenses at all. The problem is that our military spending is not all about defense. Not by a long shot.

One contributor to global warming _ bigger than coal mines, landfills and sewage treatment plants _ is being left out of efforts by the Obama administration and House Democrats to limit greenhouse gas emissions.
Cow burps.
Belching from the nation's 170 million cattle, sheep and pigs produces about one-quarter of the methane released in the U.S. each year, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. That makes the hoofed critters the largest source of the heat-trapping gas.
In part because of an adept farm lobby campaign that equates government regulation with a cow tax, the gas that farm animals pass is exempt from legislation being considered by Congress to limit greenhouse gas emissions.
The EPA under President Barack Obama has said it has no plans to regulate the gas, even though the agency recently included methane among six greenhouse gases it believes are endangering human health and welfare.
