H.R. 5353 - The War is Making You Poor Act

[Quantum Windbag]

He lost me with the absurd claim that we outspend the rest of the world combined, and then showing a chart that proved he was wrong. The guy does not understand even the most basic math, I would doubt any of his actual figures.

its well known we spend more than the rest of the world combined...

It is also well known that the moon is made out of green cheese.

Did you look at his fucking pie chart? It clearly shows that we spend less than 50% of the total spending in the world, therefore we do not spend more than the rest of the world combined.

anyone knocking the video goign to actually comment? how much should we limit spending at? should the military get to spend whatever it wants?

I did comment. His fundamental assumption is wrong by his own chart. Therefore any conclusion he comes to as a result of starting from the wrong place.

Obamacare and the stimulus aint helping either.

And neither are the mryiad of other domestic programs. (And those soon to come). Note the Military is a mandated function of the Government.

We have spend 1005 BILLION dollars so far on Iraq and Afghanistan.

To put that into some perspective?

38 states in the USA have borrowed about 3% of that amount of money to fund their unemployment payments since the economic meltdown.

Think about that for a second.

We spend 30 years worth of unemployment insurance in these Asian land war misadventures.

You would think those who claim to be so concerned with fiscal responsibility would be seeking to hedge the military first. It is, after all, FAR better than half of our discretionary spending.

Wait a minute....I thought that Boyking was going to end the deployment in Iraq and bring the troops home.

What happened?

"FOOD FOR THOUGHT":

"The financial cost of the War on Poverty has been enormous. Between 1965 and 2000 welfare spending cost taxpayers $8.29 trillion (in constant 2000 dollars). By contrast, the cost to the United States of fighting World War II was $3.3 trillion (expressed in 2000 dollars). Thus, the cost of the War on Poverty has been more than twice the price tag for defeating Germany and Japan in World War II, after adjusting for inflation."

A little down-To-Earth reality here for some of you.

But then that would suppose we ever got out of ANY country we ever liberated...wouldn't it?

Thanks for the NON-Answer. I highlighted it earlier with a link *YOU* have yet to address chock full of little factoids that torpedo you.

Carry on.

Well, there's Germany...Umm, no.
Uhh, Japan?....Nope.
Umm, Korea?...Uh-uh.
The Balkans?...Nah!

Hell, the American military didn't even leave Cuba, even though they fell under communist rule!

To be fair, though, they did vacate Clark AFB...But only after Mt. Pinatubo buried it under 20 feet of pyroclast.

As a matter of course you don't know what I'm speaking to. And it serves me to make my point.

Thanks for playing. Your parting gifts are in the rear of the stage.

Enjoy them.
