>> Oh I think we will find lots of loose change in Defense and with the country's 1%.

Our defense budget is 700B/y and if you cut it in half -- a practical impossibility -- that would give you 350B/y so that would cover it in 100 years. Of course, the 38T shortfall is only a 75 year figure, so that sure as hell won't work.

How much money do you think the "1%" have?


We'll find out soon enough.
