I don't know what stupid source you attained your statistics from, but those are wrong, and when you say build one less bomb, why not say, lets save one less Soldier, or lets try to win one less war, so how about before you build one less bomb you make one less blog, and when you talk about the 4,100 per house hold, if that is even right, then you have a horrible misunderstanding of things, people wouldn't have that money if we were in a war or not, it would still be taxed.So how about you go and take a class that try and learn a little and come back and talk some more.
