How they can even talk about a Jobs Bill (which really isn't a jobs bill) and re-energizing their failed health care bill is a mystery. In the real world, these two would be in jail for continuing to orchestrate their ponzi schemes. <br /><br />Great post, Andrew.

I use the term to mean that plus anything else that affects the ability of the nation to survive. I distinguish between the terms "national security" as a broad concept and "national security forces" which I consider to be only one major element of national security.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-83429002036555484102010-02-11T19:29:45.803-05:002010-02-11T19:29:45.803-05:00Lawhawk, It's a matter of degree.

I'm not talking about weakening our ability to spend and thereby either not getting all of the equipment that we need or not being able to buy the most modern/best equipment or having to fight wars on the cheap.<br /><br />I'm talking about our country being at the point where (1) we can be blackmailed into inaction -- no matter how strong our military is, and (2) facing the very real possibly of total economic collapse. Right now, China has the ability to do so much economic harm to our country that we really can't stand up to them if they choose to push us. That's why this has become a true national security threat.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-44680717575730795282010-02-11T19:19:52.856-05:002010-02-11T19:19:52.856-05:00Andrew: I thought that danger to national securit...Andrew: I thought that danger to national security is the essence of danger to to the country.
