Duane, Joey, and OC Greens:
   
  Go to www.opensecrets.org and see what is the explicit funding of the democratic party and its candidates.
   
  They and we may be afraid of Bush, but they are funded by the same big money, international capital, and domestic war profiteers that fund the republicans.
   
  The great thing is that these so-called "private" defense companies oftentimes get 90 percent of their revenue from our tax dollars.
   
  Does anyone on this listserve disagree with nationalizing any national defense entity whose revenues are greater than 50 percent?
   
  In my opinion as a moderate conservative with libertarian social views, nationalizing these defense companies should become part of our 2008 green party platform.

It is my opinion the democrats are afraid bush is on the verge of sending the military into the streets and are in fear of it. No excuses though, I just really believe it has gone that far. Did you see the raids yesterday across the country seeking illegal aliens? UNFKNBLVBL.

Its really come a long way toward a fascist dictatorship.

Dear defense contrators:

Now that the elections are over, you can now breathe a
sign of relief. Once the Donkey Party is back in
power, they'll be boosting defense spending to almost
astronomical levels! We gotta get ready to attack
Iran, stay in Iraq forever, and maybe invade Venezuela
and Cuba, too. So there will be billions and billions
of dollars more for bullets, bombs and body bags: all
to help Uncle Sammy promote peace, freedom, and
democracy around the globe! And don't you worry about
that Nancy Pelosi girl. She's nothing more than a
paper tiger! Treat her colleagues right and she'll be
purring on your lap like a kitty cat!

Democrats Expected to Increase U.S. Military Spending
Aaron Glantz
OneWorld US
Wed., Dec. 13, 2006

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 13 (OneWorld) - Democratic
majorities in both houses of Congress are likely to
drive U.S. military budgets even higher in 2007,
experts say.

This year's Pentagon budget is $436 billion. That
amount does not include more than $140 billion that's
being spent this year alone on the wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan.

"If you think a new wind is blowing in Washington in
terms of security issues because the Democrats are
going to take over Congress, you probably have another
thing coming," Christopher Hellman of the Washington,
DC-based Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation
told OneWorld.

Hellman said that because Democrats are afraid to
appear weak on national security, they are likely to
continue funding Cold War weapons systems like the
F-22 fighter plane, which was designed to address
projected Soviet capabilities that no longer exist.

This year, the Pentagon requested no F-22 fighters,
but Congress added $1.4 billion to purchase 20 of the
aircraft.

The House of Representatives passed the annual defense
authorization bill 396-31, with only 30 Democrats
voting against it. The same bill passed 96-0 in the
Senate.

"The issue is jobs, pure and simple," Hellman said.
"The F-22, as its builders will proudly tell you,
represents 1,000 corporations in 42 states around the
country. That represents a huge number of jobs."

Democrats also have specific areas where they want to
expand military spending after they assume
Congressional leadership positions in January.

"America needs a bigger and better military," reads an
October report by Will Marshall of the Progressive
Policy Institute, the policy arm of the centrist
Democratic Leadership Council that counts Senators
Hillary Clinton (D-NY) and Evan Bayh (D-IN) among its
members.

"Escalating conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan have
stretched the all-volunteer force to the breaking
point," the report says. "Democrats should step
forward with a plan to repair the damage, by adding
more troops, replenishing depleted stocks of
equipment, and reorganizing the force around the new
missions of unconventional warfare, counterinsurgency,
and civil reconstruction."

William Hartung, an arms control expert at the New
York-based World Policy Institute, believes the
Democrats will most closely adhere to a March 2006
plan called "Real Security," which has been endorsed
by both the incoming Speaker of the House, Nancy
Pelosi (D-CA), and incoming Senate Majority Leader
Harry Reid (D-NV).

That plan stresses energy efficiency and the use of
alternative fuels as well as securing "loose nuclear
materials that terrorists could use to build nuclear
weapons." Hartung likes those promises but is unhappy
the Democrats appear unwilling to stop production of
Cold War weapons, reduce the size of America's
10,000-warhead-strong nuclear arsenal, or scrap
development of the Pentagon's still unworkable missile
defense system, which Hartung says has consumed over
$130 billion of taxpayer money since Ronald Reagan's
1983 "Star Wars" speech.

Col. Dan Smith (ret.) of the Friends Committee on
National Legislation cautions that military spending
is rising so fast that it threatens to overwhelm every
other aspect of American government.

In addition to the Pentagon's $436 billion regular
budget and the $140 billion spent on wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan, Smith writes on his blog, "The Quakers'
Colonel," taxpayers will be coughing up $11 billion
authorized in prior years to cover the costs of
retiree health costs. Military construction and
"quality of life" issues for the current forces have
grown to $59.8 billion, he says. Military nuclear
weapons programs that are funded in the Department of
Energy budget add $17 billion more.

In addition, Smith says, "the nation is still paying
for past wars. The Veterans Administration is slated
to receive $76 billion. The interest on the money
borrowed to finance past wars is conservatively
estimated at $169.4 billion."

None of that even counts money spent on the Department
of Homeland Security.

Putting it all together, according to Smith, the 2007
costs for past, current, and future wars comes to more
than $900 billion--"within hailing distance of the $1
trillion mark."

This type of spending concerns the World Policy
Institute's William Hartung too. "I would like to see
bolder Democratic positions," he says, "particularly
on the war in Iraq and using the power of the purse to
move towards withdrawal from Iraq [and] cutting
unnecessary military spending.

"But despite that there will be hearings and some
accountability," he adds. "At least the terrain on
which the debate will take place will be different."
