    At this point could we even make meaningful reductions? Or are to attached at the hip?

    I don't want to her about the cuts they are making either, So we scrapped a jet that was going to replace a jet that was already the most advanced jet in the world BFD
    Defense spending creates jobs - not crappy construction jobs that will be farmed out to Mexicans and disappear when the work is done, or the kind of jobs that will add more leeches to the Teachers Union's tit - but high paying, high tech jobs that attract the best minds from around the world. With most of our industry gone at this point, there aren't many of those jobs left.

    That spending and those jobs then yeild innovations that have a direct positive impact on people's lives, such as the one that allows us to post here on the .org.

    Long live the military-industrial complex!

    I was kind of hoping Pelosi would thunk Boehner on the head with the gavel and have to get manhandled out of the Speaker's chair, but we can't have everything we want. C-SPAN's ratings would go through the roof.

    How about we expand pure science and R&D departments within the government and hire up the surplus of PhD and Master degree holders who can't find a job. Then we can create an incentive for people to stay in school and at the same time leap frog everyone else in scientific advancements, leaving them the in dust. The wealth of the US directed toward science would create enormous progress that would directly start impacting American standards of living even 15-20 years from now.

    So what are the Republicans planning on doing with science? Oh....
