Maybe it is just me - but this whole Federal budget issue drives me nuts. (Putting my state of California's own budget mess aside for the moment.)
Our politicians are really arguing about nickels and dimes but taking them from the poor, elderly and disabled; while most people just want to protect their own particular interests. Has anyone done the math to figure out what the savings would be if we got our military out of the Middle East Oil Wars? What about the exorbitant amount of taxes being thrown at Homeland Security? Does anyone else ever wonder what would have happened if all the money spent on the military and Homeland Security in the past 10-20 years had instead been spent on energy research and development? Maybe we could have kept our noses out of the Middle East, not incited so much hatred towards us, and not have become so dependent on them in the first place.
