The big question is: Once the banks leave the market, can we have their stuff?

Maybe you should try entering a warzone, lets see who you outwit.
How about not attacking other nations for a few years? It would be cheaper in the long run, I promise!

Let's refrain from drawing 1930-parallels. There is no need for turning this thread into an all-out flame war.

As for outwitting our military, I bet if you signed up for the marines you would have the inability to live in a warzone for more then 5 minutes without getting shot even with full armor, so dont pass judgement and tell our military their on their own.
Considering the ammount of cash you pour into your military machine, I'd be surprised if your marines DIDN'T have top-notch equipment. My point was that in times of economical crisis, it might be a good idea to cut down on the military budget. There is no immediate threat to the United States at the moment, and if you left the rest of the world to itself for a while, we might actually manage on our own. Last time I checked, the war in Iraq had cost a fortune, and I'm quite sure those money could have been spent in a better way.

I doubt a serious cut of Military spending will ever happen, at least not now since America is fighting a 2 front war in the middle east. No immediate threat? This world is filled with threats. Hell, it wasn't to long ago that Russia threaten to nuke Poland, which would surely ignite a world war. History continues to remind us of the lesson of sitting back and doing nothing. It just isn't an option anymore.
You're NOT fighting a two-front war. You attacked two separate countries, and now you're cleaning up the mess. There will always be resistance when invading and occupying a country, and I can't see how that will ever change.
While there's plenty of conflicts in the world, the US can't handle it all. Russia threatening and attacking other countries is nothin new; after all, it has only been a few years since a country in the middle-east was attacked on loose grounds.
As I said: Sit back, cut down on the military budget for a few years. Fix your economy, and let your troops have a well-earned rest. The rest of us will manage. After all, we have France looking out for us!
On an unrelated note, the Vorace web-site is one of the neatest corp-pages I've ever seen. Good job to the guy who created it!
