Why We Want More Military Spending

Nothing else to write about this morning so I'll leave you with Paul Waldman's explanation of why everyone seems to want a larger military budget- everyone who might be considered a top tier presidential candidate, anyway. Nice and polite with little to none of the name calling myself and others might use.

Good article. But take it a step further: We need to increase our military spending and presence around the world to protect and enforce our corporate interests. Those interests are usually the Provence of the privileged few - and some pension plan fodder, perhaps.

Remember, Iraq was invaded because of the oil. And how much of that prize did "we" ultimately get? I believe China walked away with the most contracts with the new government and it didn't have to incur any military costs either. That's the real tragedy, ain't it?
