Colin Powell Jumping Ship?

I believe you two are talking in cross purposes on this. But in either case, as of now the Treasury is in a huge surplus from SS revenues, as they've spent that right along. The shortfall is in the future when the bonds which represent the loans from SS funds come due, and fewer working people have to support those drawing benefits, as all the while revenues fail to match benefits as money is simply transferred from workers to retired folks.

I liked Powell. What he's done to Bush in the aftermath of 9/11, what he did to GOP-not McCain, but GOP in the last election. One needs to ask, is he for country or Colin Powell's legacy. He COULD have run, he chose not to. For second time. There's some reason he refused to run, which would make sense if his kids were young, but they no longer were. He was wanted and would have been the best against Obama. Sure, left of McCain, but someone most could have gotten behind.

Instead during a time of war, he chose the appeaser.

Ummm, that was the Dems and those that chose to go that way, including conservatives and independents.

Thank you for confirming my point

I meant the bloated imperialistic military our masters need to make themselves rich by threatening much of the world with it, actually.

A truly effective defensive military would cost us about 1/10 what we spend now, lad.

I hope there are many who jump ship. I thank God I never got on that ship.

The ship will likely become overweight on one side, and hopefully sink soon.

When that happens, I pray that there are enough ship jumpers along with those who never went on board, to TAKE OVER THE GOVERNMENT, and recover the nation.

Actually Colin Powell's position illustrates once again the Obama was elected for reasons other than his positions. It's become obvious that Powell and others voted for him for reasons other than what he said.

Why would I say that? Well everything he proclaimed to think necessary, he's proposed. Most are now approved or are up for votes. Collin Powell is either an idiot, which I don't believe, or he voted for reasons beyond what Obama promised. He shouldn't be bitching now.

Annie, you are really being too nice in your post. Call it for what it is, Colin Powell voted for Obama because he was black.

Mr. Powell, you ignorant slut. You supported a tax-and-spend Marxist for President. You got exactly what you voted for. Now we ALL have to pay for it.

Just for that, you get Obama's 'Evil Eye':
