<the Pentagon is our true welfare state> Now we are getting somewhere -- and how do you think the Pentagon is financed? Most people assume it is financed by the US government -- which most people assume means the US taxpayer -- but the US taxpayer does not come close to paying enough in taxes to finance the Pentagon -- nor do Americans save enough for the Government to borrow from its own citizens. The Pentagon is financed by foreign investors. And they have stopped investing -- but that is not going to stop the Pentagon from spending -- not on your life. The Pentagon is delighted to have the spotlight on the Fed -- a Fed that can do nothing to stop Pentagon spending.

Agreed. If either party wanna cut the size of government, they should start with pulling out of IraqistaNam and cutting the size of the Imperial Army by half. And telling the Euros "AMFYOYO" (i.e, "Adios motherf***er, yer on yer own!")<NG> Once they do that I'll reconsider their "sincerity" on reigning in the size of goverment.

>>“Pentagon: F-35 fighter jet cost doubles.”<< government has become little more than the asset stripping mechanism used by the elites to suck society dry. why would anything drop in price when their whole game is to enrich themselves at the expense of society? now that the bubble has popped, the easy money is gone. now they have to move beyond the low hanging fruit - and this trend is likely going to get much worse going forward.

a single future weapons system is now estimated to cost the American taxpayer almost one-third of what the Obama administration’s health-care plan is expected to cost over a decade. This morning reading the headline number on the health care bill for 1 decade, I was wondering what the last decade of two wars & increased military spending cost us, and exactly what we have to show for it. 'Course all the Republicans yelling and screaming about health care reform led the charge (with lots of willing Dems) to waste a couple $T on the military. One must have ones priorities. All that bombing of foreigners will likely ensure that we need to spend another $T or two during the coming decade on further inflated military spending. Forget about insurance cos or even the banks, the military establishment ran off with most the boodle.
