Washington Spending

I hear endless talk by various talking heads about "spending". No one want to cut "defense spending". I agree. What we should cut is OFFENSE Spending. This is what has gotten us into trouble for many years. Fighting stupid wars. Add up what we've blown on Vietnam and a succession of wars since then, including Iraq, and you have the picture of possible bankruptcy.
President Dwight D. Eisenhower in his farewell address warned us about the "Military Industrial Complex" gaining too much power. We didn't listen and we are in deep you know what. A hint. It stinks. We are getting closer and closer to becoming the worlds largest "banana republic". Do you suppose that Canada and Mexico will help out their poor neighbor?
Don't count on it.
