Sucks, but if the gov does not need them, so be it. It is not the gov's job to directly employ, or contract people just for the sake of employing them.

I think the country has become too dependent on the military complex for economic growth.

Right. If its not needed, what is the govt suppose to do? Create jobs for them? I could not agree with you more on this Boxus.

I saw it online. I thrive on reality, not a "the sky is falling" mentality.


How about the space shuttle workers? Same story. No need, no job.
Simple.

If the prediction holds true, what happens to the 40,000 soon to be unemployed workers after the pink slip ? Think they'll find new jobs in Florida in this economy ?

Did you read the headline?

Florida could lose nearly 40K defense jobs if military budget takes worst-case cuts, study says




COULD - NEARLY - IF - WORST CASE CUTS - STUDY SAYS


Its high time this country stops sending out squads to kill.

Its high time this country stops bombing other countries.

I am for defense cuts, saving the lives of our American young men and
women and stop killing thousands of innocent people ever year. Year after year after year.
