#3 That's the only place they can get some quick bucks. Obama and his ilk will turn the Pentagon into a National ~~Holocaust~~ Slavery Memorial Museum and legal assistance center.

#4 The '70s repeat. Your military is going to be the whipping boy for the Donks. No training, no maintenance, ghetto housing, and married junior enlisted on food stamps again. Barney doesn't want anyone to understand that nearly half of the budget is personnel of which a sizable part is retiree payment, a contractual obligation. Of course Barney and friends can break that contract. However the record isn't too good on that for pols in history.

#5 They'll get their money by eliminating 401k plans and forcing you to invest in the government-approved social security plus plan. The one that buys government bonds only. So that they can spend your pension money.

#6 heard that on Rush today. Think they'll bring that up BEFORE the election? Me neither. That one could kill the Donks if they let it out early
