So today I discovered a great line for getting under rethuglican skin

[Clintonista2]

Bring up how the US military is the single biggest socialist expenditure in history. They splutter and get mad, it's great.

[Auggie]

1. Yeah...

biggest in world history from a militaristic view, no?

[Clintonista2]

4. Can you think of any other government program in history

that has cost more than the US military?

[Auggie]

5. I don't know the history of China...

I'm not sure.

[PDJane]

2. you might mention that the US military is

The world's single largest polluter on the planet, too......that works quite well.

Mind, it will get you called un-American or anti-American, too, but they have to put their heads back together first.

[virgogal]

3. Most of the Repubs I know would just laugh.

[patrice]

6. American Socialism = Wars 'r' Us, Inc.

That's one of my street signs.

How long have we been spending nearly 50% of revenues on the military? 3-4 decades?

[PoiBoy]

7. Here's a link to a great visual about the budget...

it's from 2008 and the actual figures may have changed slightly, but check it out..!
