John Stossel and 20/20 nail Obama-care to the wall

Danno -

Do you see military spending fueling the US economy right now?

It's perhaps the only fumes we are running on.. at least in some areas.

Close down every military base and cancel all Military contracts and place all military personnel on unemployment you tell me what would happen?

[Danno 1,228]

Any why is it they are for Obama-stimulus spending to fuel the economy but not the kind of spending that buys everything from Uniforms to aircraft and vehicles which supply the military?

You actually believe that is an investment? You're joking right? The military is a net loss; anyone with a basic business acumen..........................................................

Haza.... easy guy, I know you have an opinion and can't wait to share it...but first lets follow the conversation so you are even on-topic.

Nobody was debating about how good an "investment" the military is, thats another subject we can do.

We were talking about government spending which fuels the economy such as Cash for Clunkers and I mentioned the billions thrown into the economy by the military.

Yes, one is an investment the other is not. Stimulating the economy is an investment. after all you need $$$$ to pay for the military. Some 20 year old drinking it up is certainly not paying for it. It's my taxes that are paying for it. Cash for clunkers was a booster shot for the economy and also got rid of the legacy ####### cars Americans have been driving for years.

Sounds like repubs are jealous of someone else receiving something. Instead, you should look at various billions who receive hundreds of millions for doing absolutely nothing, yet pay less tax than you.

PS I was in Avon, NC (OBX) not too long ago. I'm thinking about buying a house there.

It's sad really when some is a sore loser. Rather than trying to better themselves, is actually spending time trying to discredit the winners.

That is when you know a place is going down faster than the Titanic. At least that took a few hours to sink.

That's no better an example than citing any major employer in an area. Isn't it good capitalist rationale that if a business is no longer viable or the product no longer needed, it should shut? Are you implying to me that we keep building a war chest to save jobs?

Who are the winners?

[Heracles 417]

Who are the winners?

A few minutes of google using various words and you will find out quick-smart.

PS dude where is your avatar? or do you think they are going to analyze your choice and realize who you are.

I haven't even looked for an avatar, and if I find one, I don't know how to display it.

I think we are straying off point... my point anyway

If people feel "cash for Clunkers" is a great idea to stimulate the economy ..... how do they turn around and say throwing money at the military is not just as good.
