    When politicians talk about tax cuts they're not really talking about spurring consumer demand, they're talking about revenue. Many of them, especially republicans, base their tax policy on a horrible misunderstanding of the Laffer Curve. I blame Jack Kemp for this.

    we are in a big build up of a Stealth fleet,and working on autonomous (crewless) vessels as well.

    We just spent an inordinate amount on NATO ( because of da Russians. lol)
    Instead of bitching about defense costs, look at where the money goes.

    Our AF was losing pilots and could not get spare parts for ex. Sequestor hollowed us out -time to re-build
