No, the "bytching" comment was not used to get my view across at all, it was used towards a post claiming about this administration putting a halt and evaluating our tax dollars going to another country when we're already broke.

Well we already agreed on the defense system two years ago before the "money crisis" or the stimuli and cash for clunkers. Therefore we signed on the deal before we ran out of money, you cannot go back on a deal like this, it's bad PR and it show the world that our word doesn't mean squat!

If Poland wants a Missile Defense System they can build one on their own. IMHO a MDS is about as useful as a prophylactic with a pin hole in the working end. They both give a false sense of security but at least the rubber is cheap.

The entire system is a gross example of industrial corporate socialism. We need to repair and improve infrastructure in this country not a boondoggle in Poland.

LMAO...so if we don't have money to pay for the Health Care, how in the WORLD are we going to pay for Polands defense system? Your saying we should print up more money and devalue the dollar even more just to uphold a agreement with Poland? Are you serious?

I certainly hope that none of the other Anti-Obama crowd agree's with this one.

Again, it's not Poland's Missile defense system it's the USA's and Poland agreed to let the US put it in Poland.

So when you buy a car and take a loan out on it and then two moths later buy a big screen TV do you think you can just go back and say " no I don't want the car anymore I spent all my money on a TV"

A deal is a deal!

Ok, then in that case, the U.S put a hold on this because of Money issues. I still don't see the problem.

No, if I go out and buy a car and found at that my husband has been eye-balling a 52 inch TV for the last two years and had it on layaway, i tell him to go cancel the contract, pay the 5% restock fee and wait until we could afford the television set.
