ROBERT REICH'S THOUGHT ON MEMORIAL DAY

WE'RE CUTTING EDUCATION--YET WE SPEND MORE ON WAR EVEN AS WE DRAW DOWN FROM AFGHANISTAN. SPENDING ON WAR WHEN THERE IS NONE AT THE EXPENSE OF EDUCATION? CUCKOO!

"At a time when Medicare, Medicaid, and non-defense discretionary spending (including most programs for the poor, as well as infrastructure and basic R&D) are in serious jeopardy, Obama and the Democrats should be calling for even more defense cuts.

A reasonable and rational defense budget would be a fitting memorial to those who have given their lives so we may remain free."
