Not sure if I understand you !!!

Are you equating cutting our deficit and spending to going to war ?

That might work, as I think of it....I honestly dont recall anyone mentioning war on here in quite sometime so I suppose I am the stupid one who does not quite understand your analogy !

Anytime I used the "tots" as you refer to them it was to say they will inherit the mess we are in if we dont something...scratch that...they WILL inherit it not matter what, but they may .....well, as a renowned economist said a few days ago on NPR.....it we did not have all the subsidies being paid out by the federal government, we would have the soup kitchens of yore, AND add to that, factually speaking, we cannot afford all those subsidies any longer ! That might get the point across

BUT if I missed some posts on war, my bad !
