There are excellent arguments that Romney and Ryan are the step'n fetchits for CEOs and corporate interests, big money, the 1%. Those claism about not cutting the military expenditures, which are already impoverishing this country, taking money away from more necessary expenditures like infrastructure, where we have tens of thousands of bridges and roads in bad repair - in the case of numerous bridges, ready to fall down like the I-35 bridge five years ago. It is enormously cheaper to repair than to replace, but we haven't done the necessary maintenance and repair.
Former 5 star general and world war II leader, Dwight D. Eisenhower, a well-regarded REPUBLICAN president famously described the military industrial complex grasp for wealth and power. It extends even to the extent of paying Congress to buy things the Pentagon DOESN'T WANT OR NEED, to keep those corporate military industrial CEOs fat and happy. THIS is what Romney and Ryan are really talking about doing, NOT keeping this country safe.
Romney has surrounded himself with militant re-cycled Bush White House militant neo-cons who want to use military spending to rip us off. If you have any doubts, read my prior posts, and the news coverage, both U.S. and foreign, on the F-35 or the F-22.
From POGO:
Weapons makers have been claiming for months that cutting the Pentagon budget will result in big losses of American jobs.
But the truth is that weapons companies make billions in profits, and pay their CEOs millions of dollars a year — none of which makes us more safe.

Sadly, I quite agree with your assessment of Romney - a wholly owned bank subsidiary, if you look at the Wall Street donation list. Even more sadly, he's not much worse than President Obama - who was the wholly owned bank subsidiary of 2008 using the same measurement.
ReplyDeleteThe only politician who seems to understand that we're in The Great Depression 2.0 is Ron Paul and he's not a viable candidate. That doesn't bode well for the country.
