I don't know about you guys, but personally it feels like the economy in a hopeless losing downward spiral that won't really become any better until everything breaks. Hell we're even in the worst drought since the dust bowl 1930's drought.
Gonna be a weird 20 years ahead of us, and War isn't going to pull us out of anything because we're spending far too much on the technologies used in our 'wars'.

And you moved away hoping to find work and buy a house in Oregon was it? Hows that working for ya?

Defense against what...who...?


The US spends more on defense than next 26 countries COMBINED, and most of those countries are our allies!

Does that take into account $ spent per capita and the value of the other countries' currency as compared to the $? I can assure you that China whatever they are paying the Chinese military pales in comparison to what they pay the US military. Also, lets compare how much money the US doles out to other countries 'just because'.

All things being equal the US Spend more than 3 times that of China.
