I'll add some, too: Our troops are in almost every country in the world with bases, many with military conflict happening daily. Iraq and Afghanistan come to mind rather prominently.
The money being spent on achieving NOTHING in those countries, as well as our bases in Germany (who really doesn't need us any more...) could be spent on making our educational system more competitive and keeping old men like my father from having to physically labor past 65... Instead? Maiming young people in the US and Iraqi military groups.
Assholes. Spineless cowards of the US government. They ought to feel shame, starting with our CEO / Commander In Chief
A blind republican sheeple speaks again! :looser:JNickel101 said:People talk about Bush's low approval rating (like what, 38%?) - Congress has a 19% approval rating....
Chew on that Democrats....

muckleroy said:Ok here's my idea on how all elected positions should work...
You know how jury duty works, same thing with the House of Representatives, Senate and President.
Could you imagine?
"Damn it!"
"What's wrong honey?!?!"
"I got another Presidential summons!"
"Really? You were just President 6 months ago."
It's a joke, but I can't help but wonder if the country wouldn't be run better from people that care about doing the right thing instead of being career politicians.
JNickel101 said:You wanna know something really f*cked up...most of the money in this war is going to pay civilian contractors working at bases over here in the sandbox...
Example: Company A was contracted out to provide large vehicle operators (read: Bus drivers) for our base shuttle system (we live miles away from where we actually work...base is very spread out). These guys and gals sign a 13 month contract to drive a bus around for 8-10 or so hours a day. Up front, they get a $12,000 bonus - just for signing on.
They get 29 days paid vacation, and a free commercial plane ticket home (or wherever) for this vacation. Work 6 days a week.
Total salary: $143,000 a year, give or take, depending on exact hours worked.
To drive a bus.
oh...and its tax free. And their housing (off base in a US rented apartment/condo complex) and food is paid for (if they eat at the chow halls here).
To drive a bus.
Your tax dollars at work. :anon:
