Reply #38: No increase in military spending has to be a lie on its face. THINK!! [View All]

How on earth could there be no increase in military spending this year?
Better watch the base from which all these numbers are compared. And there is proof out there that the tax cuts were not "spent" to raise consumer spending. Consumer "debt" is what is churning these numbers. Remember: Everything is relative! With that $300-600 tax increase, the average American paid down some debt or used it to pay down and increase their debt. $600 down on a new SUV=$34,000 worth of debt. An do on.
FOX and the 700 Club may spin this for a while but soon even the ditto heads will realize that they are still unemployed. They will soon realize that our soldiers are still dying in Iraq and Afghanistan and no amount of spin will be able to survive a single act of terrorism in this country. Our economy is very fragile and as soon as China bears down on us (six months) and EU gains power you will find out just how fragile our economy is. Remember, Greenspan left interest rates alone. Just a little rise in inflation will send us over the edge.
