See?

Everything you hear just flows through you, without hitting anything in the process.

"A congressional task force led by Rep. Barney Frank, D.-Mass, called for the elimination of an Air Force fighter wing overseas, one Army brigade combat team in Europe and two reinforced Marine Corps infantry battalions in Okinawa to shave $1 trillion from defense spending over the next 10 years."

That's $100 billion a year.

So eliminating one Air Force fighter wing, one Army brigade combat team, and two Marine infantry battalions in Okinawa will save us, annually, over one-seventh of the entire United States defense budget.

Right. And you take Barney Frank's word for this?

You don't think, Buck. And when there are more people in this democracy that don't think than there are people who do, we go down, and end up where all the other countries that were formed of bile, envy, and mindless emotion end up.
