Maybe war against the deficit? To do that we need to cut spending across the board: Social Security, Medicare, Healthcare and the sacred cow: DEFENSE. We spend more on defense than all other countries on the planet combined. Didn't Eisenhower warn against the dangers of the military industrial complex? Oh...I almost forgot we need to raise taxes on everybody and we need a gasoline tax and use that tax to help pay down the deficit and invest in the development of greener fuel technology so we don't send our boys and girls "over there" to protect our "interests".Lili Anne Laurinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07505025282517397364noreply@blogger.com
