Sure. That makes sense to me. However, we know that the GOP loves their wars and they also love providing all the security the oil companies need to secure our oil supplies all over the world. Currently, 59% of the Federal Government's discretionary budget is being spent on the military, or $700B a year on military, with another $100B a year going to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

So if you have to choose between a party that spends our money on enriching the oil companies and on wars to secure the oil, or the other party that likes to spend money on American entitlements, which do you choose? In this country, those are your only choices. I'll choose the Entitlement any day over wars and oil addiction. At least I get something out of an Entitlement. I get nothing from wars and oil except other groups of people hating us so much for our meddling overseas that they want to kill us. Thanks but no thanks.
