Where does an 800 pound gorilla sleep? Answer: where ever he wants to.Not including the bases in Iraq and Afghanistan, U.S. spends in excess of $100 billion per year
on World wide military bases. Maintaining over 800 such installations is becoming more expensive.
As the financial condition of the U.S becomes more dire, doesn't the notion of closing some of these bases make more sense? What about just 10% or 20% ? Would we be any less safe?
Wouldn't California or New York use this money saved to a good advantage?
In this case a little austerity with overseas spending might be a good idea .
Come on congressional dorks, it's time to wake up from your slumber.
Life is like peeling an onion:
It comes to us one layer at a time,
and sometimes it makes you cry.
THE HATMAN
