Ever worked hard for a goal, only to be denied at the end?

Actually, my problem with the army right now is that I keep having to build stuff for them, so they must be breaking the toys that they have. My other problem is that military spending is raising the national debt to astronomical levels, and we're all going to have to pay it. Right now, defense spending also goes to my paycheck. Actually, many Americans get paid from defense spending, but a war-based economy can't last forever, but Bush doesn't care, because he'll be gone by the time the shit hits the fan.

I think I read somewhere that Military spending makes up either 1 or 4 percent of America's GDP. Besides, when I served my rifle required a lot of care to keep it from breaking, so less careful people could have a hard time not 'breaking their toys'.

But yeah, the Us is going to need one helluva leader to get this nation back on its feet economically. I see a depression in the works, it's about time (there's one about every 80 years...Panic of 1837 where President Jackson fucked up the banks, then the Depression in the twenties...).
