Re: Oil hits $114/barrel - No end in sight.

You can't spend three trillion dollars of borrowed money on war mongering and cut taxes at the same time. Well you can.... if you want a total collapse of the economy and the currency.

We do not need 70,000 troops guarding Germany.

Govt. services sure can be cut - but they make up a negligible portion of the total spending that the federal government does. It is the spending on maintaining the empire that is draining the resources of this nation - trillions of dollars of taxpayer's capital that are wasted. instead of bombing countries - try trading - like we did for the most part since the birth of this country and what made us the most powerful, technological, economic power in the world.
