    we've always spent on military. the simple answer is way too many free rides for people that never contributed or did anything to earn a penny towards them in the first place. government waste extends a lot further than the military (which i agree is also a waste what we are doing in the middle east right now)

    I agree with you, this is another topic, but right now if you cut medicare and military expenses you might have to add another 40 millions to the unemployment as those are the only work forces surviving. That will reduce the americans income even more and other bussiness as restaurants, hotels, stores, gyms, afterschools and so on whould also be affected. You should not pay your neighbor to clean your house when you have 8 sons unemployed at home.

    I'm not a genius but I saw the real estate buble burst way before it happened and I regret I didnt talk about it. I just didnt want to keep this one for me. Yes, taking the work force offshore, and stepping on the people investing in America will destroy our country. But there is hope we just need to share the truth and fight for freedom and equal rights as the old americans did.

    Pokerjoe,
    One thing that is bothersome about the extreme left is if I voice my opinion about my country that I believe we need smaller government and less deficit spending I am suddenly a bigot and racists. To label me that is unamerican and shows the lefts intolerance for any debate on solutions that does not contain a socialistic twist.

    I respect the system that brought us politicians who borrowed and spent so much money we had our credit rating lowered. They were elected and they followed through on bigger government, deficit spending and trying their best to raise taxes. But we really need a course change or we as a nation will continue to weaken ala Japan.

    You might think why to bring back from china a job that is paid 50 cents per hour in china when I make 30 dol per hour here?, but the problem is that those 30 dollars are paid with the money thet we are borrowing from them, those 30 dollars have no meaning other that sunking america in a bigger debt second by second. This has become a fake economy. We are just too blind to see it.

    The ultimate freedom is the freedom to have a job. We are losing our freedom.
