I can believe it, it is not conventional warfare and we are constrained by the fact that we are not really "at war" (although I think some of the troops might disagree with that). The fact is that we will never win, imo. It is another Vietnam, without the idiot protesters. I think there would be a lot of consequences if we suddenly pulled out of everywhere, some good, some bad and probably a lot we won't forsee.

  You said it.  There would be hell all over the world if we cut off the money to the dictators and leader in these countries that are bleeding us dry.

   Myself, I would love to see it and think of all of the money we would save.   Maybe then the Republicans will leave Social Security, Medicare and Medicade alone.  Nawww.  They want all of the money to go to the upper 2%.   :yes: :biggrin:

  Anne how would you like to live without Social Security which you have paid into all of these years and  the same thing for Medicare.  Then when you're in  your late 70's of 80's and require 24 hour care, you can't get into a nursing home because there is no Medicaid.  That's what they have planned for us.

  What did they say about Hitler.  When they came for the Jews, no one spoke up.  When they came for the mentally ill, no one spoke for them.  And when they came for us, there was no one to speak for us.  That's the Republican plan.   :yes: :devil29:

I think a Catholic priest said that, but I would not like to live without my ss, haven't started medicare yet, but so far my husband has been ok on it. From what I can tell neither side has a viable plan.

  I know that you will defend the Republican until the cows come home.  One reason is, the Republicans don't want to pay any extra tax to keep it and to defend it.

   I would pay extra taxes to keep and improve it.  But I wouldn't trust the Republicans with my secruity net or the rest of the American security net,  We have million of slave laborers who ship they products in to this country with out paying any Social Securtiy, Medicare and Medicade payments.  That is what is killing our protection.

  China ships their products into this country for 3 1/2% tax.  They charge us 25% on more on our products,  Tax the Communist bastards 25% tariff and put it in our health plans.  But ho, no the rich top feeders wouldn't get the cream that floats on top.
