Look, you can jeer Ron Paul all you want. The status quo of endless war and a trillion dollar a year military will be just as unsustainable the day after Paul bows out as the day before. THERE IS NO STASH. NOT for endless welfare schemes, AND NOT FOR ENDLESS WAR. PERIOD.

Just a small objection here.

First, use of the phrase “endless war” should be re-thought b/c it makes the user sound like a parrot. As a criticism of policy, it has become a hackneyed phrase. Try a little harder for something original, por favor.

Second, and more important, we have the left to thank for “endless war.” “Endless war” is what you get when you make victory impossible.

We also have the left to thank for our state of “endless politics.” I would venture to say that that is even more destructive to our Republic and exhausting to its citizens than the much-bandied-about “endless war” syndrome. Funny how you never hear the left condemning endless politics, though.

Fish, water, no perception of wet.

However, I do agree with the statement that there is no stash. We have met the enemy and he is us, and we is broke.
