Space Force
The why of it:
https://www.heritage.org/space-policy/h ... pace-force
The how of it:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Space_Force
The cost of it:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/business ... 45ac7b942e
https://www.defensenews.com/space/2018/ ... estimates/
What is the overall defense budget:
https://comptroller.defense.gov/Portals ... elease.pdf
What % would space force be? At the highest estimates = 13 billion over 5 years = 2.5 B a year = less than .3%
The other superpowers are doing it, why shouldn't we watch our backs?

Ha! You know that's about 2/3 of NASA's yearly budget? You are deluding yourself and the other taxpayers if you don't see the cost of this "Space Force" rocketing (excuse the pun) over the next few years. Maybe you could update some of those Star Wars space lazers that Ronald Reagan sent up in the 80s?At the highest estimates = 13 billion over 5 years

So, everyone should just leave the control of space to the Russians and Chinese? America tried leaving the control of Europe to the Europeans. Do you remember the results of that? I love the picture? Can you show me a country without slums? Maybe that will happen when every citizen in a country is willing to work hard for that goal. I don't see that happening because too many have their hands out shouting "Me, Me, Me"! And no, not every poor person is lazy, but their lives are only made harder by those that are.Lucky Lucan wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2019 12:02 amHa! You know that's about 2/3 of NASA's yearly budget?

Switzerland doesn't have any real slum areas. Maybe the odd block that isn't quite as nice as the others around. Meanwhile you have whole cities like Baltimore, Philadelphia and Detroit that have large areas that look like war zones. Vast areas in the south with nothing but run down trailer parks and deprivation. Pensacola. It's a disgrace that your country has so many resources and so much poverty. More than half of your taxes go into the military and also interest on the debt created specifically by over-budget military spending, like Iraq.I love the picture? Can you show me a country without slums?
Billionaires through their right-wing media empire have managed to convince a sizable proportion of the US working class to hate the people who want to insure that they have fresh air, clean water, healthcare, and education in order to assuage their insatiable greed. It’s likely that in the fullness of time they will suffer from their myopia.
Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.
And yet you don't seem to care about those who are afflicted with poverty and substance abuse problems in America:
Although I agree with you that the 'Space Force' and the military budget in general is outrageous. Trump is just another neocon. He wants to use the American military to "save" Venezuela but he has done almost nothing to save Americans from the hordes that are coming in from the south and through the airports.
You are unbelievable. Native Americans helped the Irish in their time of need only for a boneheaded Irishman in the 21st century to laugh at us and make fun of our lack of job opportunities and the problems our community has with painkillers and meth.Lucky Lucan wrote:Kill all those lazy Americans who are smoking crystal meth and bumming around on welfare.

It sounds like Lucky just hates America.

Switzerland maybe has a population, a very small one, willing to work for the betterment of all. Maybe they are the exception that proves the rule. What is your country like and why should that make you able to preach to America?

Who is preaching here? You are - you keep starting these ridiculous evangelical Trump threads, then you can't deal with anyone who disagrees with you. You can't seem to link to any reputable news sources either. You completely ignore the statistics that show how more than 60 cents out of every dollar of your tax is spent on a bloated military.Johnsell50 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 13, 2019 12:44 amWhat is your country like and why should that make you able to preach to America?
I care more about Americans than you ever will, you're just a sad dupe who is inadvertently supporting America's ruin.It sounds like Lucky just hates America.

You asked a question and I answered it in a proper manner by starting a thread for that question. If you don't want to hear the answer, don't ask.

The only one who is supporting America's ruin is people like you who believe that the only people with the answers are the ones giving away it's future to the "Give Me" generation. Let them work for it like the people who built this country had to.

He cares a lot more about it than the "Green New Deal" people who want to increase the deficit by $70,000,000,000,000 to turn the country socialist. In case you haven't looked it up, that's the estimated cost of that new resolution.

The people fighting against the wall don't care that unbridled illegal immigration is ruining America. So why should he, or I care?

No problem. Nice picture though... He probably believes it's all a right wing conspiracy too.

So, out of all the things LL wrote, you decided to focus on the joke about the .0001% Native American, i.e the Republican joke about Elizabeth Warren, and ignore the rest?

You might want to look at all the underlined responses. If all else fails, read the whole thing.

Ok, so why do cowboys always have a bit of doo-doo on their moustaches?
Because they keep looking for love in the wrong places.
