Electing Democrats on a "Might Be"
Two American Generals say they are voting for Democrats in the hopes of changing American policy. The military leaders also say that Democrats might be willing to put up the massive infusion of cash they believe will be required to fix a military stretched thin, and to permanently increase the size of the Army.
With Rangle heading Ways and Means? Who promises to strangle the economy with higher taxes? Despite the fact that lower taxes have increased government income way above expectations?
With Alcee Hastings (who was impeached and convicted for bribery) running Intelligence?
The Generals are delusional.
And we should listen to them?
In any case we already have an Army increased in size by 80,000 but the increase like the tax cuts is not permanent. While the Republican-controlled Congress passed legislation temporarily increasing the size of the Army, a permanent move in that direction is anathema to Rumsfeld -- who has battled for a smaller, ever more technology-dependent military.
So the generals got most of what they claimed they needed for now and still they are not happy? I don't get it.
