Although it probably wasn't that bad, it certainly was a lot higher proportion of USSR GDP than the US - which is spectacular enough; right around 24% currently. As Hitler figured out, you can blow your economy right through the roof be throwing vast amounts of money at "National Defense", as it's constantly getting obsolete and needs updating...and your populace will be far more ready to save their nation by building the world's best fighter plane than spending billions to come up with a way to save five MPG in average car gas consumption...even though that would save them more money in a personal sense in the long run. Pat I appreciate your common interests with me, even though refeneces to the USSR as "not being that bad" and implying the US (Though not so direclty implicating the USSR) is like Hitler when it dares have a military, are marks of a typically misinformed or head-in-the-sand liberal. It does not matter how much bad facts about America's enemies are exposed...liberals are sure the problem is AMERICA and conservative thinking is always labelled as HItleresque! nothing could be further rfrorm the truth,. But we probably agreeon space. |

But we probably agreeon space.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I have to reply again to Pat, here. I ahve to APOLLOgize for getting personal, and calling you something or other. You are too polite to do that, which is unusual on the internet. Sorry about that, I'll try to refrain from being personal with you, do to your good manners. But the "trick" in CIVILly conducted debate or argument, is: Call what the opponents BELIEVES, and possibly call his or her FELLOWS (as well, of course, call leaders he follows) every name in the book. But don't call HIM anything, personally! SO, you do not say *I* am Hitleressque, etc.; only what I BELIEVE and the people whose views I AGREE WITH are Hitleresque! So, I'll try to return the favor! LIBERALS, and their leaders such as President O-BOMB-US, are Hitleresque, false accusers, and have the wrong enemies as their number one enemies - hating America and Republicans more than they hate, or put up gaurd against, the Saddam Husseins, Stalins, Taliban, al Qaeda, Castro, Chavezes, and the Iranian, North Korean and other brutally oppressive, aggressive and dangerous regimes. LIBERALS have it all upside down! But I'm not calling YOU anything, Pat! Thanks for not getting personal with me, also. semi-smile. |
