Sure. Reading and writing is fluff now too, along with the arts and civil rights. You've got an interesting world view there, niki.

This country stopped dreaming. It is now quarterly reports and bottom lines.

I would argue the opposite. This country is still dreaming. It is dreaming that it can afford these bloated defense budgets. It is dreaming that it can still afford to act in it's self-appointed role as the world's police force. It is dreaming that pet projects and sacred cows can be retained while the nation goes down the toilet. America is still dreaming, and it needs to wake up. Close the bases, bring the troops home, cut the budget.

How about you hold a bake sale then?

You gonna bake for it, big guy? Some special Big Niki surprise?

Don't need a bake sale here, thanks for the offer.:yeah:

Sure ya do. Bread for bombs. You could make a ton of cash and then have all the crazy oversea contingency operations you want. But the taxpayer gravy train has to stop.

Big Niki's bakesale. I like it. :yeah:

Tax payer gravytrain.:haha:

Does the defense budget come from taxpayer dollars? Then it's a gravy train.
