NO this is not ridiculous or unheard of. If Americans only knew what our tax dollars were being wasted on every year, the smart ones would be thrilled to invest in something that actually HELPED its citizens and invested in the future. And I'm talking the average citizen. Not the top 3% or the hoitytoity Americans who confuse coming from generations of wealth with actually having WORKED/EARNED for it themselves.
This isn't about Politics: Obama, McCain, Democrat, or Republican. They can all go to hell, as far as I'm concerned. What it is about is Americans knowing what's going on around them and knowing that stuff isn't FREE. Hell, we invest in domestic and global capitalism so why not invest in the overall wellbeing of our nation?

I can see what you're saying, there's a lot of ridiculous spending going on out there, no question.
But, it's not just the top 3% or the hoitytoity who want a stop to the over-spending or who believe in some sort of financial conservatism. There are a lot of us who grew up in lower-middle class households (like myself) who also hold those beliefs. Some of us think that private industry can take up some of these costs, and that the investment in domestic and global capitalism helps in that way.
Either way you feel, it's a big topic that's not adequately covered by email forwards...
And Tom - I'm guessing the offensive remarks in other threads will get you banned faster than posting forwards.
