What I don't get: They announced today the closure of many military bases, including one near me in CT - loosing tens of thousands of jobs.

But we're increasing the money that goes to War in Iraq, and closing job oppurtunities back home??

"Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, whose state faces the closure of the 205-year-old Portsmouth naval shipyard, the nation's oldest, called the plan "a travesty and strategic blunder of epic proportions." Democratic Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, home of the New London submarine base, called the plan "irrational and irresponsible.""

Extra 90 billion spent to rebuild Iraq, fight over there for years to come. And close and cut off spending at home?

I honestly, just don't get it.
