Mish nails arguments about war, the US economy and the continuation of ridiculous policies from Bush to Obama in this post today. Here's how it ends, but go read the whole thing. Highly recommended, solid argument.
War mongers want war but they do not want to pay for it. Sadly, Obama, Bush, Pelosi are all alike. Thus, Congress and the Administration is committed to having military idiocy and domestic idiocy at the same time.
God do we ever need a balanced budget amendment and a sound currency. We should not fund a damn thing unless we are willing to raise taxes to pay for it. Virtually no one but the war mongers and the military beneficiaries would be in support of raising taxes to pay for this monstrosity.
That The Hawaiian was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize is the most insane thing I've heard in ages. As Albert E said:

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
