So where is the repug led "military Keynesianism" taking us? - Don Hurst
Straight to economic ruin. As I said in my thread to John Vosilla, we are getting raped to the tune of $1 trillion a year on military and security spending. But the Dems are spending far more in transfer payments and deficits. In my mind, there's no difference between the GOP and the Dems. They both are Keynesian spending monsters and they both love to destroy our economy with deficits. The only difference is where they prefer to waste taxpayer money. The GOP loves war, guns, and tax cuts for undeserving groups. The Dems love to spend on welfare, healthcare, and the environment. Both parties love to enrich the banksters and wall street at the expense of the taxpayer.

So instead of defending your favorite party, let's just all get real honest about what is going on. We have crony-capitalism and both the GOP and Dems funnel money to their favorite cronies, with complete disregard for their stewardship of our economy and our taxpayer money. Benjamin Franklin said it best:
“Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote. When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.”
