The budget needs to be re-purposed to infrastructure. I've heard that Marine's and Seabee's are pretty good roadbuilders and Army dogface's know how to build bridges. Wages paid will still flow into local economies. Maybe I'm just being simplistic? I dunno but a modern day CCC/WPA scheme might be a start to getting the country back on it's feet. Hell, it worked for our parents and grandparents.

I just hope there isn't some Axis assholes waiting over the horizon this time around but it seems to me that if we keep pushing people around like we have in the middle east and the far east they will join together and push back. A hot war with nukes will only end up with everybody living in a brutish caricature of Medievil Times and the West Coast cities will be glowing holes in the ground, Patriot AM batteries and Aegis cruisers can't get 'em all.

Time to beat swords into plowshares in my opinion before it's too late but what do I know, I'm just nailpounding shithead Democrat with a GED who likes to read history books in my spare time. I do agree with Republicans about one thing, the tax codes need to be rewritten.

That sounds like beating swords into a WPA or NRA or some other New Deal organization to improve our infrastructure
