If you think that being a pilot is bad, try spending 26months in Viet Nam. Obama's veterans department is not all that helpful to veterans specially ones of Viet Nam era.

Increases in Taxes, will not over come the state pension debt. It is 2/3 of your deficit. The other 1/3 is illegal aliens serves and their college fees.

Boy are you ever right. It not enough to get a republican governor but the congress and the senate of Illinois leaders are Chicago thugs.

The article is right, to a point. Quinn and company are the biggest problem we have in Illinois. Chicago is the biggest vacuum, that suck all the money from down state and Quinn don't care. The only thing that has us crippled is the pension payment. One will say or do anything about it. I forgot the next biggest thing is the illegal aliens and the services they us up. I can't believe that we can elect a republican to the senate and settle for Quinn as governor. Quinn has done nothing the he spouting off, before he became governor. Like Rayon, a coward.

You have total left out LBJ, who started use down this path. If he would not gotten the sending without having the money, through, other words, you did not have to balance the budget. We would not be in this mess. LBJ's New Deal, doomed use for every, with debit.

what is the difference now Al Gore has gotten his money. No matter right or wrong he is still rich.

You are RIGHT, be nobody will do anything about it.

Since time begin the Democrats have always gotten their cut from the military first. No one should be surprised at this cut. He (President) would do away with the entire military or much worse, put them under the U.N.. Keep yours eyes open to the above because if reelected he will try something I said. It may be not be legal be he will try.

The Bush tax cuts have been in for 10 years. Taxes cuts don't cost anything. The Lib's use the estimated money they don't get as a cost. That is like saying you lost 1 million dollars when you don't hear from publishers clearing house.

There is very little concern if the military will be stronger or weaker. The concern is that President Obama look as if he is delivering on a promise. Just like the Israel, President Obama, can find very little that the military does right. Military might is not one of the things that President Obama promised nor has any concern about. Not a war on the military but just don't care about it one way or the other.
