Stay Cool ..... Troops

By DAVE LINDORFF
The United States Military is spending $20.2 billion a year for air-conditioning the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Read that again please: $20.2 billion just to provide air-conditioning for our troops in these two desert countries.
How much is $20.2 billion?


The snippet above had me laughing all over again.  People who love the war circuses that the USA puts on across the globe would argue that "nothing is too good for our troops" ........ including getting their arms and legs and heads shot off ..... including economic hardship when they come back to the USA .... including psychological damage from being in a war zone......   indeed , nothing is too good for our troops.

Obama rails at the rich and fat cats "bring them down" he says

Obama rides around in Limousines and has body guards.  He has multiple luxury jets.  He has many servants.  He throws fabulous parties.  He can jump to the head of any line.  People stand up when he enters a room.  He does not have to pay for golfing, skiing, sailing, ............  He does not pay taxes on most of his benefits.  He has a fabulous pension. 
Is he a fat cat ?
