Military Spending helps overall ecomony

JazzyBel Sagacity of CA

Ask why we don't cut back on Military spending?(my Paraphrase) Let me remind you!

1. Salary to military men goes to support them and their families mostly here in the States thus it boost our economy

2. Nearly all military equipment is manufactured in the U.S. in private firms which employs non military employees and their paychecks help our economy.

3. The raw material are from the US as well, not all but much of it. Thus it helps our economy.

4. Yes, we have invested in the infrastructure of other countries, but we have don't it with US supplies and Manpower. Thus helping our economy.

The idea that military spending is wasted and does not help our economy is foolish.

Demographics

Population growth in the US is a favorable trend, if analyzed from a purely economic-based perspective. Our economy and health-care system cannot sustain itself without the influx of revenue into our tax, social security, and labor market. Even when looking at the illegal immigration problem, although unbalanced in the area of health care (Emergency Rooms are where most illegal immigrants receive their care at the expense of the hospital), the US economy would be in dire straits without the growth in labor capital from hispanic countries. This is particularly true in states like California, Texas, Arizona, etc. Now, all of this is not to say that our political leaders should necessarily plan on these trends for long-term tax revenue plans, because the way our debt is accruing from government overspending, inflation is going to overtake those numbers within the next few years. At the rate our government is bailing out the financial system and spending on stimulus projects, we are going to need to double our population within about 7 years if we want to avoid massive debt problems as a nation.

So Pelosi thinks we can provide health care for the low cost of $295 per person? ($90Bil per year/305Mil Americans = $295).

So who thinks we can provide health care for the cost of $295 per person? ($90Bil per year/305Mil Americans = $295).

Why Don't

I don't understand, a lot of money is going towards our military right, and obviously it's not helping with our economy, why doesn't government adopt Britains idea, and put more money into helping the people, that can easily create more jobs because we will need people to help others, thus putting money in our pockets and helping low-income families, not with giving them money but by providing better education, medical care, etc. that way our future won't look as bleak because we would be a healthier, more educated society, so we don't have to worry about turning to the politicians that just blindly spend our money HOPING things are going to work out with such and such plan I'm just sayin

Insurance and Banking

Between the two, WE DON’T STAND A CHANCE.

900 billion for health care in the USA. What is the population of the entire world, and how does that dived out?

specific population

what is the specifis population for new jersey? and other info like you have up at top?

population

While the number of people is growing, our futures are not. the jobs are leaving due to taxs and the cost to produce goods in America.This leaves fower jobs and more people to fill them. This in turn lowers wages and benefits for everyone. making the economic future for our children bleak. Match this from out of control spending from both Bush and Obama and we will not amount to a country that can lead the world. We will be a wreck.With no HOPE and only wishing we had CHANGE in our pockets.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

WATEVER DIS AIN'T HELP IN ANYWAY

POULATION

gROWING POPULATION , IF LIMITED TO GROWING NUMBER OF PEOPLE , only, then it is harmful to the earth . if it leads to growing the development of brains with maturity , then it is the need of the earth. Even Present obama govt is not able to imagine on the issues related. they do not realise the responsibilities as most vitle nation. the status of the nation in any faculty will reflect on the status of other so many nations.
