American Thinker: What a Difference a War Can Make

Hypocrisy, thy name is....Barry......

How times have changed! The United States isn't the imperialistic, blood-for-oil war machine that it was just a few years ago.

We have become a Nation with a horrible sense of entitlement...and that will be our un-doing. I'm in manufacturing, and every day I feel our industry under assault. As though WE are the enemy.

If you want to understand better why so many states—from New York to Wisconsin to California—are teetering on the brink of bankruptcy, consider this depressing statistic: Today in America there are nearly twice as many people working for the government (22.5 million) than in all of manufacturing (11.5 million). This is an almost exact reversal of the situation in 1960, when there were 15 million workers in manufacturing and 8.7 million collecting a paycheck from the government."
