38. Indiana Green.....
I have to say that it's OK to look at history for a some guidance, but I think that you are taking things a bit far. History ain't no crystal ball to the extent that you are making it out to be.

Plus I don't consider Wes Clark to be an ordinary General.

Clark worked as a WH fellow in the Budget office of management.

Clark has a Master in Economics from Oxford that he earned as a Rhodes Scholar there.

Clark has been an investment banker since his retirement in the year 2000.

So history is good to check out....and we shouldn't forget or repeat...but the future is not the past in that the gauge is broke.

Maybe Clark can take a chunk out of that pentagon budget to balance the budget. I consider that a real way of solving that problem....and Clark has stated that he would certainly go over that "Make-want" budget with a fine tooth comb. Reprioritizing that 400 billion per year might help us find something that others won't even look at.
