Should the Left give up their money voluntarily to fund programs they support???

[Ray From Cleveland]

Conservatives don't want to cut government spending; they want to cut 'liberal' government spending. They're big talkers until someone suggests putting their pet projects on the butcher block.

That works both ways. It's why we have the weakest military than we've had in years.

Because the GOP used them up foolishly in Iraq for no apparent reason.

Of course, it couldn't be because DumBama cut funds to our military.

We spend this:

and still it isn't enough for you people.

Why are we the only nation on earth that has to spend that much to survive?

Because we are the world police. It's not something we applied for and got, the position materialized all by itself.

Now if you don't want to be the world police, somebody else will. So think of who would be strong and large enough to be next in line for that job. Is that what you want?

Sure thing, great idea, just as soon as the right wing war mongers pony up the funds for the foreign military adventurism and interventions they all support.

a) Not all RWers support all (or any) of our military actions, and
b) Plenty of Loony Leftists do support some (or all) of that "adventurism."

Your left/right view of the world is narrow and sophomoric and I certainly hope you have lots of years ahead of you 'cause you have much to learn.

Not all right wingers are white. Only 90%.

Not all loony lefties are brain dead ... only 90%.

There's no need for such a job.

Let me repeat the question:

Why are we the only nation on earth that has to spend that much to survive?

I've explained that already; sorry you didn't like the answer, but don't pretend I didn't give you one.

So again, if we don't want to be the leader of democracy, liberty and multiculturalism, then who would be? Who would take the world leadership if we decided to withdraw and keep to ourselves?

Loserterians,,,,

Do you drive on the roads?
Do you use the police?
Do you get your warnings for storms from the nws?
Do some of you use ssi?
Do you enjoy regulations protecting the environment, air and water?
Do some of you send your kid to public school...We all know a lot of people couldn't afford private.

If you do any of these then you will agree that we all should pay taxes for such.

Why do we need to spend 600 billion dollars on war? Why not spend 200 billlion of that on improving our own country. Which would do a lot more for our economy without getting our sons blown up.
