I touched on part of this last month how, despite the liars call of 'the war, the war, the war is bankrupting us', it is something far more insidious than the war that is draining our economy.
It's entitlements, and the malignant vote buying power inherent in that slush fund of tax payer dollars which is crippling our economy; exacerbating D.C.'s perversion of purpose; and shackling our grand children with 'other people's money' frivolity.
John Stossel agrees with me, but is far more succinct & eloquent.
Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist.
Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed. - G.K. Chesterton
