first, the military is just a small fraction of the cost of the war
second the military that Bill Clinton weakened was by the design of one Richard Cheney. Oh yes that's correct boy's and girl's. Bill Clinton followed the plan laid out by Dick Cheney as Secretary of Defense under Bush 1. If you don't like the military we have blame Cheney it was his idea.

the national debt ceiling has been raised 3 times in the last 30 years Once under Reagan (your God) and twice under Bush (your demi God). The only President in the last 80 plus years to balance the budget was a Democrat. The argument that Dems are the tax and spenders just doesn't fly.
And what's wrong with redistribution of wealth? It has worked for you ...[text shortened]... n body armor (okay bad example). Taxes are the price we pay to live in a civilized society.
and more money came in, but the Dems started spending more than
what was there. Clinton couldn't spend the tax money as freely due
to the Rep stopped him to the point that even the government was
shut down. I like the idea of the government being forced to live
with in the means of the country not within the means of their wildest
dreams without a bases in reality.
