We have a plan. In fact, we have two plans.
One is that we need to keep and expand a generous welfare state, build strong military, develop a 21st sentry infrastructure, invest in education, science and new technologies. And we can easily afford to pay for it all.
The other plan only make sense if you think that the government is the beast. It call for as little of it as possible -- and if we leave our roads crumbling and poor children w/o access to health care and education, so be it. God will take care of everything, if not in this word, then in the next.
And the voters have to choose.

A generous welfare state? I must have missed that somehow. When did we agree to that?
I dunno.
When did we agree on an Air Force?

Or corporate welfare to build expensive planes that never materialized?
The Air Force came into existence in its own right shortly after WWII. Before that is was a part of the Army. Having proven its effectiveness and as a reflection of its differing requirements, it was made independent. The military, politicians and the electorate seemed to support it at the time. Their plan was to counter future agression using air support.
Are you saying that we should scrap the Air Force?
