I'd like to have another look at Elmo Zumwalt's High-Low plan: A few expensive, hyper-capable ships, with hundreds of smaller and cheaper ships to give the fleet numbers. I'd rather have 10 VSTOL carriers in the sub 20K ton range than a single 100K nuclear supercarrier that takes 7 years and $15 billion to build, and cripples the battle group if lost in combat.

The U-2 is a stable, mature platform. Lockheed can make more of them. And it works on a much lower budget than the GoldenHawk ($1 to the previous poster that coined the term!)

The Pentagon, like the rest of us, is going to have to learn to live on a budget. And it's time to start saying "Bye" to defense contractors that see taxpayers as a golden goose.

Precisely. We're doing what Germany did in WWII: produce high tech in low numbers. Our weapons shouldn't be dirt simple, but they should be cheap enough to build in mass quantities. We can't afford to lose a single carrier because they take so long to build.

Depp didn't just mock Republicans, Depp openly mocked the United States in an interview a few years back, about how grateful he was for "getting out" and living in France, and how he'd never raise his kids in the states.

I'm not a defender of Bono's politics, but really, you're going to condemn the man for taking (legal) steps to keep his tax burden low? Seriously? Isn't that one of the things that makes us conservative? If you want to blame someone for US tax dollars going to his charities, don't blame him. All he can do is ask. Blame your government. They're the ones giving.

Takes one to, well, you know

And you're just a tool.

But hey, by all means, let's pay to see movies with this guy in it and fill his ilk's pockets with our cash.

Exactly. Kennedy is what every other Libertarian is: a liberal that doesn't like paying taxes.

Or maybe conservatives far outnumber libertarians, as pretty much every poll confirms. If you want a quota system, they'll love you over at Daily Kos. In fact, with your "hateful wing" stuff, you'd probably be more comfortable over there anyway.

"The criminal rich have won again".

Seriously, buy a ticket to North Korea and move there. If you hate business and markets and capitalism so badly, just get the hell out.
