I dislike such myopic comparisons. If they were really trying to start a discussion, in addition to the military spending, add in comparisons for canceling foreign aid, or Education and Arts, or all "pork" projects.

And add the interest on the debt. On Thu, Apr 15, 2010 at 11:21 AM, Larry C. Lyons <[email protected]>wrote: > > Its not a realistic comparison.
