648,000,000,000 For Defense

Today the Senate just gave the Defense Department 648 billion dollars of your tax money. This is just for one year. Seldom do you see both Democrats and Republicans pass a bill without argument.  This sterling example of bi-partisanship is going to provide us with new fighter planes and lord knows what else. Don't you  feel more secure now: knowing that your government is spending your money so wisely? I feel like a guy with ten Rolls Royce's who just bought a new car. Never mind that we have more war machines than the rest of the world put together. There is a war on, called the war against terrorism. If we find a terrorist we need twelve air-craft carrier groups to hunt him down and nuke him. The problem is that the only time we find him is when he has already blown himself up. This is solved however by grabbing everyone with a towel wrapped around their head and sending them to Guantanamo or a half dozen other secret prisons in Egypt or Turkey where they will get a fair trial.
