Yeah, what do we have now, 13 carrier battle groups? For what? The Russians don't even take their navy out of port now.

We share the same concerns. The democrats and the republicans for years have wasted am amount of money that is unconscienceable, and are determined to outspend what would be a reasonable budget. They talk a story, ( I did not add a good story because we all know in our hearts they are lying) but then cut their deals when not on TV... I am in the infrastructure sector and you are correct, our roads and bridges need serious attention, and they are falling behind annually, we are not even keeping up with the rate required to just maintain them. Urban growth has not been taken care of and the undersized sewer pipes are causing cities to dump waste into the great lakes... The war is extremely expensive and I much rather see it spent here, if they must spend so much money. (Which they will) I am against giving them more of our money than absolutely necessary, but believe that if there must be a tax hike, then each income group must go up, and when tax cuts are made, every single group should benefit. The splits are already there, yet people that pay only 10-15% want a free ride off those that pay 30% percent. It is our country and everyone needs to take ownership in it, not look for more subsidies...
