It's amazing!
There's never enough money for education.
Or to feed and house the poor.
Or provide basic healthcare for everyone.
Or for repairing our crumbling infrastructure.
Or to create jobs.
Or to replace fossil fuels with cleaner, renewable energy.
Or to care for our veterans.
But there is always enough money to go to war.
You know the old joke, a guy in Las Vegas asks a stranger for money for an operation for his mother. The stranger replies, "How do I know you won't use any money I give you to gamble with?" And the first guy answers, "Oh, I got gambling money."
Funny, isn't it?
And what is truly amazing is how quickly conservatives become Keynesians when there are war profits to be made!
Don and David. Just two guys from Arizona who tend to get a bit ticked off about all sorts of things. So we've decided we need somewhere to vent -- and we will vent about anything. Mostly politics, but we'll talk about books, music, movies and anything else that strikes our fancy. We're also pretty big Springsteen fans (especially Don) so you're likely to see some videos here.. We hope you will let us know your thoughts about our rants -- but we promise to treat you fairly.
