I agree. But again, all those things you claim we should be spending our money on, we actually ARE already spending our money on.

Seems to me your arguement lies in the AMOUNT of money you want to see spent on these other areas versus a war on terrorism.

So I will ask my final question on this thread -- what would YOU do if YOU were the President of the US, and you took a solemn oath during your Oath of Office that above all else you would protect the sovereignty of the US and safety of her citizens?

I don't equate bad roads with terrorism.....you could always choose to not drive if you think our roads put you at risk. You can't choose to not be blown to bits by a terrorist. But I do understand your desire to see your own tax dollars being spent on something for you that is more tangible for you to see results. My arguement is -- your money IS being used on something for you --- your safety and hopefully saving your life from a potential terrorist attack. Don't blame the US government for having to spend your money on preventing terrorism instead of the other things you want your money spent on -- blame the terrorists. Without them, we could be spending your money where you want it spent.
