"...taxpayers were being hosed as defense contractors ran up almost $300 billion in overruns..."

is this "the efficiency of the private sector"? looks like a free ride to me. makes one wonder what percentage of taxes go to the private sector.

<United States ... is spending more than $1 trillion a year on national defense despite fighting only two little wars against enemies with no ships, warplanes or tanks.>

Isn't that just dumbfounding? What if we had a truly armed enemy? How many trillions would THAT cost us?

It's about peak oil. We have no oil. The pipes are running dry. Cantarell is almost toast....and then no more oil from Mexico. We're about to fall off the peak oil cliff.
Look where our military is....it's where the oil is.
Drilling offshore is a joke too....it's 6-7 years out....and we'd burn it up in a month.
