I think they're lying. And I think they know it.

Well if we were to bring home ALL our troops, not just Iraq and Afghanistan, stop handing out defense contracts to foreign companies and tell the drug companies just how much they can charge,we could save quite a bit. And we still might be able to scare up the money to repair our crumbling infrastructure. If our indsutry spent more time exporting products and less time exporting jobs I would be inclined to give them the time of day.

Then we could have time to take the mickey out of Wall Street and Goldman Sachs et. al. Shoot we might even be able to ensure that no child goes to bed hungry. There is a line from Elizabeth Barrett Browning's poem "The Children" that covers what will happen to people who allow that to happen.

"Do you hear the children weeping, oh my brothers, err the sorrow begins.

. . .

The child's sob in the darkness curses greater than the strong man in his wrath."

I imagine there are many children crying themselves to sleep because their father or mother came home through Dover.
