1. Absolutely, and measures taken at home to increase security and reaction capabilities have cost a substantial sum as well.
2. Only if McCain fails to get elected. That will be ugly, particularly if Mr. Obama is elected.
3. Depends on what you do to earn a living. If you are on disability with 7 children you might lean one direction, if you are self or otherwise employed, you might have different inclinations.
Mr. Novak, you make some very salient and rather horrible points, if you really consider even some of the consequences of them. Our policies for the last 40 or 50 years have always been short-sighted, driven by the election cycle. Stuff these asshats are doing now, borrowing more $$$ and sending a freakin' stimulus check, give me a break.
