Oh, that's nothing. The GDP of California is on a par with the GDP of China. The GDP of Georgia is bigger than the GDP of Taiwan. The GDP of Washington State is bigger than the GDP of Saudia Arabia, a real "oil giant". The GDP of Tennessee is bigger than the GDP of South Africa, one of your so-called "oil giants." The GDP of Connecticut is bigger than the GDP of Hong Kong. The GDP of Oklahoma is bigger than the GDP of UAE or Pakistan. Heck, the GDP of North Dakota, the home of nothing but cows, wheat fields, and a lot of empty space, is bigger than the GDP of Lithuania. Check it out. en.wikipedia.org

>>" "We're fighting terrorist networks armed with explosives and AK-47s. This has to be considered a triumph of an arms lobby that can obviously sell us things we don't need at a time that the president claims we're in mortal danger." "<< You know, this just cannot be repeated enough!! Does everyone in Congress have a "defense?" contractor in their district? Doesn't anybody in our government anymore have the courage to stand up and say..."wait a minute, this is not America, the shining beacon of freedom"
