Cut Wasteful Military Spending!

[Free Trade is managed by the invisible hand.]

I don't mind the research aspect of it. I would also like to point out that many deficit hawks are often very one sided, and sometimes misleading when it comes to taking something out of the budget. I guess we could cut money to some programs, or even better just divert those funs into a more efficient program. Secondly I think the role of the military should slightly change its focus more towards humanitarian things as well.

I often find it interesting how our armed forces holds on to older bombers in order to reduce costs. This is because getting rid of various machines,equipment, and so forth is sometimes a very costly procedure.

Funny how many "fiscal conservatives" out there support bloated defense spending and foreign wars of intervention.

Funny how many "fiscal conservatives" out there want to get rid of central banking, and our federal reserve.

Tell the military you're going to cut their pay for their service. Happy Memorial Day to you as well.

More money would be saved just telling them to come home entirely.

They don't want to come home otherwise they wouldn't have signed up.

Out of all the candidates for the Republican presidential nomination, Ron Paul received the most donations from military personnel.  And he's the only candidate who opposed the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The weekly standard thinks other wise, and secondly I have seen Ron Paul's donation numbers debunked before. In any event this thread is not about Ron Paul.

I know that.  I just find what Derek said to be absurd.  Many of these people who go over there were lied to about money for college and other B.S.

instead or countering with a claim you should simply ask him to providing supporting details, and citing a source in order to back up his claim. By doing this you are practicing one of the easiest debate tools, and making your opponent do the work.
