>>" Don't you understand, the govt will print more money and pay for it. What's the big deal? "<< Right on...what is the big deal?...why we dump $636 Bn this year into something we call "Defence". Yup, that is right, $636 Bn per year per decade and always growing, bigger than the rest of the world combined and paid for with good ole "printed money" borrowed from the Chinese. And among the 750 bases we have scattered around the world we still have 50,000 military in Japan after 70 years...to do what??...defend us against the Chinese that are funding our military...OHMIGOSH.

NAAH, cannot do...that would be "Socialism" versus the other kind of Socialism that uses $636 Bn a year and over $7 Trillion, borrowed, over the next decade to do what??? Ah yes, provide for world-wide capital punishment (when innocents are killed they are called collateral damage) and euthanasia. Yup, the Conservatives good SOCIALISM...
