uncle and guarding the global commons....what's the cost/benefit ratio of the US armadasand who be the cui bonos

jcolman


doctor ron paul is going around the hustings these days
 saying uncle spent 4 trillion bucks over the last decade
on   His red white and blue
                                        over seas fightin' and fussin'
obvious question
who profits by more then 4 trillion dollars ??
   if  uncle  plays   the earth's sheriff  for ten years straight  ??

say average citizens get no value

where's the beneficiaries
we can tax away their surplus

strikes me most liberal  anti war types
 think its just one big deficit hole
filled up with circus  folly blood sport and love of destructive waste
its madness they are fighting against madness

there has to be a better  peaceful win win all around

you know
4 trillion
who wins now
ya ya there are compact  beneficiary groups
 the weapons and war profiteers
and  some resource outfits
and low wage arbitrageurs and and and

but to a bottom line tune of 400 billion a  year ???

or hell even 200 billion a year

or look at it as an investment
pays out in perpetuity
say 120 billion a year ..indexed to inflation
is this show  worth more to them then it costs us ???

pareto cries   " find out  "

are there  no clearly distinguishable set of amerikan institutions
to tax
to pay for these selected benefits ???
