We're often talking about some futuristic weapon meant to counter a weapon system the Chinese <i>might</i> build in 30 years and <i>might</i> use to threaten the United States. So we often spend money on something that might, might kill us a long time from now instead of on the things that are killing us right now.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11154351095467482965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4065910512732060865.post-40772092348406569282009-10-14T21:31:35.141-05:002009-10-14T21:31:35.141-05:00Stick it to them, BTM!!!
My latest revelation is ...Stick it to them, BTM!!!<br /><br />My latest revelation is that very few people talk about the costs of defending our country. Or how much defense adds to the deficit. Yet when it comes to protecting the HEALTH of our country, we're suddenly very money-aware. Correct me if I'm wrong, but more people die from medical problems than from terrorists, right?M and Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09949403946041080463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4065910512732060865.post-8791495819351800122009-10-14T17:34:26.636-05:002009-10-14T17:34:26.636-05:00Thanks Becky.

And scary. <br /><br />Right now I'm watching the Ken Burns series on the National Parks on PBS. A quotation from John Muir really struck me--it applies to so much in American life: "Nothing dollarable is safe, however guarded."Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06517252487552392654noreply@blogger.com
