Dazzling! Keep in mind that Rumsfeld reported in 2003 that the Pentagon could not account for 2.3 trillion dollars. Journalists need to keep the pressure on the huge waste in the Pentagon that it is no friend of the economy. It's a cash cow for corrupt American corporations at the expense of almost every American.

This opinion piece has little journalistic merit. Not only is the author ignorant of history (what would he think of FDR!), but also of the facts. The US has not lost jobs to other countries; we have one of the lowest unemployment rates in the world and have gained jobs consistently for some 25 years. We are not "the world's number one polluter". But then the author perhaps has never heard of China. One of the sloppiest far-right pieces we've seen in a while.
