		<description>Franko could volunteer to serve for free. Now that B.H.Obama gets his wish to . 
go after Obama B.L. they should settle the middleastern dispute with a dule. I think B.H. B.H.Obama could earn alot of respect if he&#039;d go over there for 6 weeks. Just 6 weeks out of 4 years. We&#039;ve got to bring Obama B.L. out of hiding no matter what it takes, but might as well do it the least expensive way we can. It&#039;s B.H.Obama, that Obama.B.L. really wants to meet with. It appears B.H. Obama is letting all the terrorist know, they don&#039;t have to worry about going to prison. 

How about Muslim Martyr Day.  Blow them up? Since the terrorist muslims like blowing themselves up so much, why don&#039;t we set a day, that we will martyr a whole bunch of them.  Tell them to Obama B.L. wants them there for the greatest sacrifice they can do for their country. And then we can just bomb the heck out of them. That would save lot&#039;s of money. I mean these terrorists are so brainwashed, that if we use the same stragedy on them, that Obama B.L. does, it might work. We could call them cowards and double dare them. We could promise them 1000 virgins. Tell them they will have the powers of Santa Clause, the Easter bunny, and Tooth Fairy, and they will be able to deliver gold and silver to their families.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m just surprised it is only 25%.   I keep waiting for somebody from the left to proclaim that we need to unilaterally disarm in the interest of world peace.  Or at the very least make our armed forces equal in strength to a country say like,  Sweden.

Slowly but surely I see myself taking on a survivalist mentality.  I&#039;ve got my colloidal silver maker to prepare for the downfall of our health care system,  I&#039;ve already built my solar heat collectors to help collect heat for when they cut off the natural gas / oil for global warming issues.  When spring comes,  I&#039;m going to start learning how to grow potatoes in garbage bags for when the economy has been destroyed.  Well that and stashing away gold and silver coins for when dollar bills are used to replace toilet paper because it will be cheaper that way.</description>

		<description>inho, the depression ended for 2 reasons:

1.   during WWII, a massive, efficient industrial capability was developed that was relatively easy to convert to civilian usage.  Machines increase productivity which improves people&#039;s lives

2.  our success in WWI infused the country with pride and confidence in American capabilities.  It reversed the defeatism of FDR and the liberals.   Americans KNEW what they could accomplish, and they did it.

Hey you!!  The  Moron!!!!    Take heed of point 2.</description>

		<description>If military spending was plotted agains economic success, there would be a very stong correlation.  That&#039;s because the military has a BENEFIT to society.  A stong militray makes it possible for free people to engage in commerce without the treat of war.

What does NOT BENEFIT society or the economy is government spending forprojects that private enterprise does not undertake (with some exceptions noted below).  Windmills are a huge net loss to the economy.   Private enterprise doesn&#039;t build them because they are NOT cost justifiable.   When government subsidizes them, it steals capital from businesses that would build what people WANT.

But there are some exceptions to government spending.  Roads are an example.  The problem with roads is that it is too difficult for private enterprise to recoup its costs.  So we have to fund highly inefficient government to get them built (ever count the % of road workers standing idle?).  Note however, that private toll roads, which do provide an effective cost recovery method, are always built faster and better than government roads.

Another example was the space program.  It was an example of a project that is too big and risky to be undertaken by private enterprise.   So government did it.    For that reason, it probably cost 2 to 3 times what it would have cost if private enterprise could have taken the risk.</description>

		<description>If WWII  ended the depression, why couldn&#039;t we buy gasoline or tires for our cars with reckless abandon?

Hey, let&#039;s end our depression by making pennies and maybe nickels from zinc.

The END of WWII ended the depression.  Maybe the Marshall Plan ended the depression.</description>
