1. "Reagan’s legacy affects us dramatically today in two ways. First, Reagan’s anti-Communist foreign policy and his military buildup hastened the disintegration of the Soviet Union. In the past eight years, America’s victory in the Cold War generated a half-trillion-dollar peace dividend. That peace dividend grows every year, and it fell like manna from heaven into President Clinton’s lap. The budget deficit is falling, not primarily because Clinton raised taxes and not primarily because the congressional Republicans committed themselves to a balanced budget, but because the defense budget is nearly $100 billion lower today than when the Berlin Wall came down."

Wow, not often you see a rightwing neocon admit that profligate US defense spending is a major contributor to our crippling deficits.
Tell us , oh great libtardian wizard, where does military spending go? Who gets the money spent by DOD? Do you have any idea?
Never mind, I will tell you. Defense spending goes to american companies, american blue collar workers, many of them union members. Who do you think builds our planes, ships, tanks, ammo, uniforms, rations, boots, etc. Not the fricken chinese or mexicans---------------american tax paying workers.
So go stick your libtardian membersip card up your ass and move to north korea, ya fricken loon.
So our military in your view is essentially a makework project that we borrow billions from the Chinese to fund?
lol. No shit.
