Why do conservatives think the military is more imporant than education?

Education should be controlled at the local level. I have no problem with the Federal Government establishing minimum guidelines and standards but that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about investing in education. Particularly in the STEM fields, Industrial Trades and Applied/Performing Arts.

We invest more per capita in education than most developed countries. Yet we continue getting shitty results. Throwing more money at the situation is not going to change the outcome.

You have to quit getting your news sources from Faux news and actually read some real history. What was Carter going to do? Invade Iran and start World War III with the Soviets? Yea...smooth move there ex-lax! As for the economy...more stupidity. The economy had already been tanked for several years before Carter was elected thanks to those wonderful policies by Nixon such as wage and price controls, non-direct convertability of the US dollar, the Arab Oil Embargo, irresponsible growth in spending without the revenue to pay for the spending (hmmm does that one sound familiar?). Where as Carter actually took big political hits by adopting the fiscal policy that ended The Nixon ear of Stagflation. Policies that were adopted and embraced by Ronald Reagan.

I mean like dude...do you even read? This is shit that third graders should know.

LMAO... what policies did Carter adopt that ended the stagflation (which by the way did not end until Reagan let Volcker enact his inflation killing plan)

Yup. We would cut defense spending in half and still would have the largest military in the world but conservatives have made it a jobs program.

Another moronic Dem talking point... try cutting defense spending that occurs in a Dem district. See how fast the Dems stop that cut from taking place. Quit being a partisan hack... neither party truly wants to cut defense unless it comes from 'someone else's district'.
