NYT: Okinawans' 'True Views' Aren't What They Say
Apparently the NYT knows the minds ob Okinawans and their opinons better than the Olinawans themselves.
We don't need another far flung foreign air base in America's Imperial Empire. Put Americans back to work building military bases here and bring our troops back home.
The benefits to this strategy are many. First our tax dollars will go to putting Americans back to work here.....thereby putting money back into their pockets where they will spend it HERE in America - which will help create more jobs in the stores, gas stations, service centers and such.
Plus those Americans will no longer be getting any money from the Federal and State governments via unemployment insurane, Medic-Aid, Food Stamps and other forms of governmental assistance.
Now with those Americans working and putting their hard earned money back into the economy (and not in some Cayman Island or other off shore bank) that will create more jobs and those people will spend their money in the U.S. economy and thereby creating even more jobs HERE (and not off in some foreign land).
With all those new jobs, that is with more taxpayers paying into the system and with less money going out of the Federal and State treasuries, the Federal government and the States will have more money for: education, bridge and road repair, schools, etc. And that too will create more jobs.
Now besides all of that, all of the troops that are brought home will be spending their hard earned money in the American economy and not in some foreign country's economy - (and who know's where that money goes? I hope not into the hands of our enemies).
A strong healthy economy is the best weapon we can have to keep our enemies at bay. We need to close our far flung military empire. Close most if not all the American military bases on foreign soil and bring the troops home.
If some foreign country is not strong enough to defend themselves and want our help then THEY should pay the cost of our troops (being there) and pay for the drain it puts on our economy - NOT the American tax payer.
However that having been said, Japan's Self Defense Force is quite capable and strong enough to defend itself and our pressence on their soil is quite unnecessary and so we need NOT build yet another air base on Okinawa over the objections of the Okinawans themselves.
Now that folks is a Liberal idea.
