The LIBERALS judge productivity and success by how much money is SPENT on a program. They've always done it, and the American public buy it hook, line and sinker. Healthcare, environment, education, etc. They feel that if we spend MORE then it will get better. Why can't we measure productivity by the RESULTS? Why not streamline instead of spend more? Why not measure results and react rather than increase budgets? And guess what? When our great President suggests these ideals, the Dems fight him on it. And the LIBERAL MEDIA eat it up.

who is our great president?

Now that you mention it, it is strange that we still spend as much on Military spending as we did in the cold war.

Uncle Bill, would you like to see the military defend us with old outdated equipment?

That's why there is no more cold war. The US Military is an example of RESULTS. We have the strongest military in the WORLD.

the next war will be chemical and biological and any dip s**t country will be able to wage their kind of war. who are we defending ourselves against? china? no. korea? what good was all the military might during vietnam. this country lost over 50,000 young men with an average age of 18. the youngest group of men to ever fight a war. how many hydrogen bombs do we need? eisenhower said and it bears repeating, "beware of the military industrial complex"

We should not have been over in Viet Nam. You need look no further than Desert Storm to see how our military stands.

By the way, I am not suggesting that we shouldn't look to reduce military spending. I was merely pointing out that the money put towards the military produced real results. We should try using results rathter than expenditure as THE means to judge success. LIBERAL Democrats simply don't do that. Ever...
