Why is it ok for the government to tax and spend $512 billion on millitary but whenever a Democrat proposes something you automatically get deffensive about your tax dollars?
By the $512 billion is more than the next 14 other leading millitary budgets in the world, combined. And that's without the so-called supplementals for war.

Like a good republican, Max Headroom misquoted his source. We spend $51.4 billion on education, not $514 billion. But what's $462.6 billion anyway?

And please, someone answer the question instead of regurgitating conservative-talk-radio-freedom-defending tripe.

Actually most of us Repubbies are pretty upset with W right now. He's not representing his party very well.
If you ask a group of "conservatives" what they think about the war they will tell you that we should have been out of there a LONG time ago. There is no reason why this should have taken 4 years. The military is forced to fight handcuffed by lame engagement policies and too much interference from the Feds.
JUST LET THEM FIGHT GEORGIE!!!

We have the strongest military in the world because of our budget and if it was up to me I would choose to increase it. If our tax dollars went more to defending our freedom and less to paying for the trash of America to sit on their *** while their kids to get free lunches at school when they damn well could buy lunch meat and bread and make the kid a sandwich. And I can promise you that you will be wishing to God that you had spent a little more of your tax money on the military if we ever get in a real scrape with somebody who can actually fight back.

Restructure the schools eliminate Tenure, go to a year basis, eliminate the Unions reduce the overhead. Restructure the schools as the military has been restructured and then we could reach a compromise. But then again you don't have the votes liberal

Department of Education discretionary funds make up about 8 percent of the $514 billion that
America spends annually on elementary and secondary education. Despite the size of this
overall investment—more than we spend on national defense, and more per-pupil than any
other nation in the world except Switzerland—educational achievement improved little over the
past decade, and achievement gaps between minority students and their non-minority peers
remain unacceptably large.

For Republicans, it's OK to spend tax dollars as long as corporations, executives and shareholders will benefit.
If the wealthy aren't aided, government spending is evil.
The real GOP 'base' is extremely wealthy people. When are middle and lower class Republican voters going to realize this?

obviously by your spelling we should invest some loose change in education, but we can teach you when you are in the military, time to bring back the draft.

Without safety and defense schools won't mean much at all.
