    This is such backwards thinking. "Most of the money is being spent in the US." The money is going to defense contractors to make bombs, air jets, etc. How is that improving the lives of people here who need things like food, energy, housing, and healthcare? All it's doing is increasing the money supply which makes those things more expensive.

    For someone with the term "Leader" in their job title, mitchie sure says "my opinion doesn't matter" quite frequently. Want's to play both sides and only take care of himself.

    As much as a I loathe Mitch's politics I still maintain he is since 1985 the most skilled political operator in the US Congress. He is not as skilled as LBJ was but, I still admire his ability to push legislation and policy goals. When he leaves the Congress the R party will have an extremely hard time replacing his experience and calm manner of working for party goals.
