1. More stimulus and let the tax cuts expire for the wealthy!
More deficit now, less later.

2. Getting the troops home and trimming the 53 cents out of each ...
dollar we spend on defense would help. It like a buying spree for every contractor or manufacturer.

4. yes defiantely get out of afghanistan. cut spending on war crap
put the war money on the soldiers. cut out a lot of that fancy crap and build the simple stuff like transportation ships and personal carriers. that way you don't get those stupid cost over runs, but you have people doing something more then making burgers.

5. Sure, it's plain to see, but........
Boehner and the republicans don't compromise. They demand the tax cuts remain for everybody and they will get it. Want to bet? Did you hear Marsha Blackburn tonight? They want spending cuts across the board --- except the military. This means one thing and it always comes around to this. The pain will be borne from the bottom up.
