Just what the military (and our enemies) need to hear
Friday, October 24th, 2008NEW BEDFORD — After the November election, Democrats will push for a second economic stimulus package that includes money for the states’ stalled infrastructure projects, along with help paying for healthcare expenses, food stamps and extended unemployment benefits, U.S. Rep. Barney Frank said Thursday.
In a meeting with the editorial board of The Standard-Times, Rep. Frank, D-Mass., also called for a 25 percent cut in military spending . . . Southcoast Today.com
When we finally do leave Iraq, the military needs rebuilding. Equipment is worn out and obsolete or just not there. Defense used to be a good way to stimulate the economy. Building and making equipment creates many jobs. That of course assuming we don’t give contracts to any foreign country, friend or foe, like we have in the past. Our government needs to be pro-military.
Just a thought . . . why don’t we take some of the folks on food stamps and unemployment (those who want to and can) and have them work on the “stalled infrastructure projects?” Can you say, “CCC?”- it certainly worked before.
