Military brass all over the country living like potentates, rent free on the tax payer's dollar. I have no problem with high ups in the military living well, but they should be responsible for finding and paying for their own homes unless they want to live on base in staff housing. As it is these people are living in the swankiest neighborhoods all over America and not paying one dime in rent or upkeep. And on top of that they get all the extensive home security provided by the government. Yet lower level people in the military are being given a 20% pay cut. I'm officially disgusted.

This will make conservatives' insane! I love it! I hate government handouts! I love everything about the military and it can do no wrong! I hate welfare and excessive government spending! We can't cut a penny from the military's budget! Does not compute! Does not compute! (Heads explode.) |

There is absolutely no need for a 'standing army' please read "Animal Farm" to see how the american people have been tricked into having their pockets picked for billion$$ to support this horror and enrich the well-connected few. |

At least you're consistent, MPC. The thing that pisses me off about Repugs and Libertarians is that they claim to hate big government and excessive spending, but then are always opposed to even the slightest cuts for the military industrial complex (which is the biggest arm of big government and the most excessive welfare expenditure in existence). |

We are opposed to any government expenditure that is not authorized by the people directly line by line. We now have a situatia where the banking cartel and the MIA are ruling the USA. |

In the best of all worlds that would be fine. But you know as well as I do that allowing the public to decide on how the government spent tax monies would be a complete and total cock up. Unfortunately in this country it appears there is a far larger percentage of complete morons than people with rational and intelligent attitudes. |
