      There is also the fact that the US running at a major loss- the federal budget went from a $236 billion surplus in fiscal year 2000 to a $521 billion projected deficit in fiscal year 2004. The US needs increased public investment (education, job-training, basic infrastructure, the environment, energy, and research & development), money from these have gone into covering tax-cuts for the rich, and the Iraq war. If the US continues as it is, its economy will collapse, and without the world's strongest economy behind it, the world's strongest military will not be able to fund wars half-way around the world.
      The US military model is a poor choice, it is not-sustainable over a substantial period of time, and it is unique from any other nation.
      The US has been running at a major loss since WWII, only twice has there been a surplus, once under Kennedy and once under Clinton. Republican administrations often run like this. Bush's economy is almost a mirror of Reagans, save Bush gave alot more of his tax breaks to the wealthy.

      The fact is our defense spending is way down from the Reagan years. The economy weathered the tech bubble burst in just four years. The US will have to raise taxes Im sure but its economy in increasingly the world economy. Our manufacturing sector is now the major part of the economies of India and China. If the US economy collapses, the worlds goes with it.

      The only real problem with the US economy right now is the sheer amount of manufacturing jobs exported to China. If we find ourselves at war with China we will find ourselves cut off from our own factories.

          And you are missing the point that everyone has been trying to make for a couple of threads now. You say two million men in Azan is a smaller proportion of your army than the proportion of the American army in Iraq, but the point is not the proportion of the army, but the fact that two million men need to eat and they need fuel for their vehicles.

          And I don't want to hear about how everyone but you is ignoring their NationStates reports. The reports are self-contradictory and if you take them literally they'll drive you up the wall.
          Everything changes, but nothing is truly lost.

                    Careful, lads...
                    Raspie might 'do a Lazerus' if you're not too careful.

                    Actually, I doubt that he would, as he obviously doesn't have much of a life out of Apolyton.

                      Not cool. Not cool at all.

                      Personal attacks arent neccisary.

                        Not a personal attack.
                        Merely a statement of the obvious.

                          1. Lemonade in the private sector, Ras. Do not confuse that with our main industry.

                          2. By your logic, explain the former USSR.

                            #1 is important. Those countries have lemonade sales as thier top private sector because thier govornments control all production.

                              Now that it's the good guys' turn, what say we coordinate our efforts this time?

                              Any ideas on what our priorities should be?

                                Beat the hell out of FCL.

                                Well, Joechastan got a bunch of divisions sitting around that can be moved closer to the front to garrison newly liberated cities, releasing other divisions to other tasks.

                                Centralis divisions are building up to spearhead an attack on Tal Zach, so we should be isolating the city now by kicking FCL troops from other places.



                                Az,

                                Is there an airport in Neve Al?
