A Bigger Military
 

A Bigger Military Is not the Solution to Terrorism | Cato Institute

Seems a lot of the Republicans want to create a much larger military. Why?

Because Chinese is a difficult language to learn.

:thumbup:....:bigbow:

I don't remember "bigger" as being the operative word regarding the military.

More capable, stronger, best in the world do not neccessarily mean how many heads!!

How else will the gov be able to claim that they have created jobs?

If you have to ask then you haven't done any research. So instead of answering it for you(which you'd likely ignore)why don't you do a search instead of just depending on others to do the work for you?????

bingo!!

Because they are not paying for it. If they were paying realtime cost you'd see a little less chest pounding.

Simple. Just grow the public sector with bloated bureaucracy like Obama has done.

But it's OK to hand over food stamps, cell phones, big screen TVs, cars, spending cash, "free" health care to 25 year old women with 6 kids by 6 different fathers who lays on the couch all day and watches Oprah??? Give me another cruise missile any day.

Your comment is probably lost on Liberals, they just don't get it.

One cruise missle would feed a lot of people. If you are covered by Medicare you are also getting free healthcare. The old I paid in all my life doesn't cut it. Pick up a pencil and piece of paper and add it up. Regardless of the social help you refer to we are not coming anywhere near paying for our military and all of it's legacy costs.

Liberals never complain about entitlement spending, nor the hundreds of millions of dollars given to foreign governments that us.

that hate us

How about they get off their a$$, get a job, and feed themselves? I'm not talking about the disabled, nor the unemployable, only the lazy POS's that have leached off the rest of us for way too long. I'd be willing to bet we could cut 75% of food stamp recipients out and no one would go hungry. And I would be feeding those who are defrauding the system in jail. The rest--cell phones/TVs/cars/etc. is just plain idiotic. Why work for a luxury or a convenience when it gets handed to you for nothing?
Of course, liberals will disagree. They think we should all have the same "stuff" in the name of "social justice", regardless of what we produced.
Welcome to North Korea.

What is the realtime cost for "FREE COLLEGE"? What is the realtime meaning of "ILLEGAL" as in alien, or realtime meaning of "LOAN" as in student loan, or realtime meaning of "CLASSIFIED" as not to be put in personal emails, or realtime meaning of "READ" as in what always should be done when passing a national healthcare bill. I could go on and on with this. The one realtime meaning I know for sure is "POLITICIAN": (a person who acts in a manipulative and devious way, typically to gain advancement within an organization).

You have obviously been brainwashed. But, the lazy find it easier to listen to someone lie to them, than to do some research. Do you know how much of the year to year budget goes to entitlements, compared to how much goes to the ONLY Constitutional mandate the gov has....National Defense? Before speaking/writing foolish verbiage again, you might want to think or research what you are going to discuss. Because you are just making a fool of yourself.

By the way, you don't even know how Medicare works. And NO, I do not and have not ever used Medicare. I have private insurance, full coverage. Another thing you should do is go to the Medicare website and learn something of it.

Our military budget is smaller than you would think. By percentage of GDP, our military budget is smaller than Israel's. Besides, as I said before National Defense is a Constitutional Mandate. Freebies are not.

And if not for our military, you would be speaking German, Japanese or Chinese by now.

:agree:

BS. You pick up a pencil and use compound interest on what I spent out of my paycheck for the Medicare that I will never use. Because all it covers is Hospitalization. Otherwise, if you want anything more than that, you continue to pay out of your Social Security check each month for Medicare B, C, and D. So, don't even bother telling me that I have already used my allowance of Medicare, because I haven't. And thanks to Obamacare, my private insurance has gone up in premiums, out of pocket and co-payments. And tests that my wife used to have covered are no longer covered. Thanks to your messiah in the White House and those idiots the Dems in congress. Can't blame that on the Republicans either.

China Military Strength

And where do we --the US-- rank in military strength now??

Where will we rank in 5 or 10 years?
