According to the True Majority organization, yesterday, Secretary of Defense Gates explained to Congress that wasting taxes on weapons which don't work and have no conceivable use against real-world enemies makes us LESS strong as a nation.
Wasteful programs like the F-22 fighter jet were designed to fight countries like the Soviet Union that don't exist anymore. Admirals and generals have all said that these things are unnecessary-- we only keep building them because they make a lot of money for defense contractors and lobbyists.
Do Conservatives really want to reduce taxes, or are they happy to continue paying their taxes to support these costly, wasteful and obsolete weapons programs?
