Reply #11: if we were spending 350B [View All]

domestically generating growth instead of in Iraq basically setting fire to it the economy would be booming.

OK, some of it is domestic - paying inflated prices for MRAPs built in SC or MI DOES contribute to the economy. But it would be a whole lot better if less of the 350B were going into the pockets of corrupt Iraqi politicians and corrupt contractors with offshore accounts, and into building roads, bridges, schools, paying teachers more...

If somebody wants to help Michigan's economy, why the hell don't they order about a gazillion alternate-fuel transit busses and freaking GIVE them to the cities? THAT would reduce oil imports AND put people to work AND improve climate. Then spend some bucks building satellite parking and hiring drivers - gee, do ya think some homeless vets could be transit drivers?
