President declares: Every gun that is made, every warship launched is a theft from the hungry

[chikenwing]

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement. We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. This is, I repeat, the best way of life to be found on the road the world has been taking. This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron. … Is there no other way the world may live?

In 2005, the typical household defined as poor by the government had a car and air conditioning. For entertainment, the household had two color televisions, cable or satellite TV, a DVD player, and a VCR. If there were children, especially boys, in the home, the family had a game system, such as an Xbox or a PlayStation.[4] In the kitchen, the household had a refrigerator, an oven and stove, and a microwave. Other household conveniences included a clothes washer, clothes dryer, ceiling fans, a cordless phone, and a coffee maker.

What is Poverty in the United States Air Conditioning Cable TV and an Xbox

I assume it's about the same ten years later.

Can they afford healthcare, rent, education?

I would imagine they could, but they would have to sacrifice other conveniences. Healthcare has never really been an issue ever since Medicaid came along, education is free up to the 12th grade in every public school

Again you are talking free public services

I can also find functional color TVs, VCRs, Microwaves and Xboxes on the side of the road

I'm sure the poor acquired all their entertainment equipment on the side of the road.

You liberals are the dumbest of the dumb. Face it, you got schooled once again.

The poor are able to buy those types of things with money they say they don't have because someone else is forced to buy their food and clothe their kids.

Not according to Rightdinger. Those items can be found on the side of the road along with spinning rims, Air Jordan shoes and gold chains.

World peace through unilateral disarmament and groveling apology.

Now what could possible go wrong with that?

We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people.

Using taxpayer money to build bombers is ....Patriotism

Using taxpayer money to feed and house Americans is.......Socialism

The both of you idiots are wrong, there is evil in this world that must be confronted and defended against. When you bunch of moron liberals have eradicated evil call us then we can stop building ships, planes, and guns.

 

[KGB]

When the Soviet Union fell, contrary to the belief system of many, defense spending fell and fell and kept falling.

It wasn't until we were horribly attacked that it went back up.

Hell, in Europe, protected by the powerful United States, average defense spending is from our European allies in NATO is running at 1.6%.

YOu remove immediate threats and First World democratic societies will be happy to spend the money elsewhere.

We have a larger military than the next ten countries combined.....who is the threat?

Other nations seem to understand they can build schools, hospitals and feed their people while we build bigger and better military hardware

911

How did that work out?
A military larger than the next ten nations combined

Check that again sport. We come in #7 on military size....

I have a hobby of checking out what kind of cars food stamp recipients drive. Yesterday in Publix a woman paid for her groceries with food stamps then pulled out a wad of twenties to pay for her steak,lobster and vino. I watched her go out and load her groceries into a fairly new Jaguar. It's always a Jag, BMW, Mercedes or an Escalade.

President declares: Every gun that is made, every warship launched is a theft from the hungry


When he said that in 1953, did he also mention what the cost of socialism spreading across the globe, would be?

How many would go hungry as workers fell into sloth and did their jobs half-heartedly?

How many would starve when crops failed and they found they had no reserve? No rich an idle nation to supply the food they lack?

How many would die when emergencies happened and no ambulances were available? No fire trucks? Roads were inadequate for relief to get to the stricken location?

A military costs less than those things... because when government becomes socialistic, all of those things start affecting the entire country.

 

[rightwinger]

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement. We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. This is, I repeat, the best way of life to be found on the road the world has been taking. This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron. … Is there no other way the world may live?



Great speech by a great President



.

I thought the President was a Constitutional scholar. Apparently he missed the part about raising a military in Article I, Section 8 while thinking there was any article about social welfare programs. Just more pandering.

Where in the Constitution does it say we have to raise a military larger than the next ten militaries combined?

The President knows from experience what a military force can and cannot do. More military knowledge than any President in the last 100 years

 

[Hossfly]

The correct formula, Henry, is "Peace Thru Superior Firepower." BOOOOM!

It doesn't say anything about how big or little just that Congress has the authority. Seems you base your argument on how much and that's a faulty argument. That the power exists is all that matters.

So you're saying that he has more experience than Eisenhower? You get the award for dumbass response of the year.
