REDUCE MILITARY SPENDINGS, one issue is to pull the hell out of Iraq or start pulling troops out and reduce military spendings. The fact that the US will spend around 700 billion alone in 2008 for military spending. The US spends 48% of the worlds total spending in military. If that isn't saying something then wtf seriously sigh.

Oh btw by reducing military spending we will be able to allocate the money else where, that said it doesn't really mean all the time that they will actually spend it in the right direction though. God I hate this government. We need to go back to the 70s when there were protests everywhere and actually made a difference.

QFT, reducing military spending would save us a lot of money, that and reversing a lot of the Bush tax cuts.  We can all see how much good they did for the economy.  Taxes were higher under Clinton yet those years were wrought with prosperity.

I'm getting really tired about hearing how great everything was under Clinton. His first few years were rough, then deregulation began... Which has caused some of the mess we're in now. Then the tech boom happened and Wall Street blew up.

I'm not bashing Clinton, I think he was a decent president but he gets way too much credit for being in the right place at the right time while the fiscal Republicans were controlling the House.
