Hi IL, All I'm saying is, hey if you dispute some numbers, dispute the numbers. Let's get into it, have some facts, do some thinking. Sounds like a decorus and reasonable request It seem indecorus to simply dismiss what are extremely important numbers without any basis. These are numbers that impact the stock market and threaten the economy, and are worth serious examination, rather than political dismissal. I'm into a couple of defense-related investments in biotech and so forth, and am benefitting from this, imo insane expenditure, so it's not sour grapes. It's accountability, both in the financial sense and otherwise. It rankles to see work done to warn of such impending disaster showing lists of numbers taken from reports and one's own estimates, being dismissed on a political basis, rather than facts. It's important we focus on facts even as political polarization grows to a fever pitch. It would be just fine to see any sort of attempt at rebuttal, showing anything that can support a more sane level of expenditure estimates. Believe me, I'd love to see it.
