New York Times: Okinawans' 'True Views' Aren't What They Say
We don't need yet another air base in Okinawa. For that matter we don't need another air base on foreign soil anywhere in the world. Build that base here and bring the airmen home. No more foreign intervention, no more foreign intrigue is necessary for a healthy American economy. No. Rather far flung American bases weaken the American economy, divide our troops and weaken us militarily. Close down most if not all of the military bases of Imperial America. Bring them home. Let them spend their hard earned money here, in our economy, where it will do more good for us, than spending it there in their economy. A strong healthy economy lends itself more readily to a strong America - more so than a weak economy ever could. Put American taxpayers back to work building new military bases for our troops to come home to, rather than employing foreigners to build American military bases over there. This way there will be more Americans paying into the system, and the Federal goverenment will get some of that money back (by way of taxes - a broader tax base). There are other economic benefits to this plan too, benefits wherein the cost of running the government is reduced (less Americans collecting unemployment benefits, less Americans needing food stamps or other Federal and State as) and thereby saving money. It's a sound business practice.
