re: #251 Fairly Sure I’m Still Obdicut

It’s also kind of just awful. We waste SO much money in defense and you’d think all these “OMG the awful evil demon debbil government spends too much money I’m taxed enough already” people would get a fucking grip on that. If we could retool factories that made cars and stuff into war machines during WWII, then why in the hell can’t we retool factories making war machines back into something useful? Duping the public into panicking over jobs lost if we cut defense is a HUGE part of our problem, using that as a trick to keep people voting against their own long term best interests really ought to be fucking criminal, as in your ass sits in jail for lying and violating your oath of office as a public servant or employee thereof.

Also too, this is but one example of why we need corporate money out of the political process and K Street needs to become an empty shell. The only lobbyists in Congress should be constituents, period.
