Interesting that during all this noise about the 800 billion bailout, the house passed the mysterious 600 billion defense spending bill and sent it to the senate today.

In the bill it has 1 billion for the radar system to put in the czeck republic, and 5 billion worth of earmarks added for the pentagon. It also increases military wages.

Take note of local police forces being bolstered up also, all while crime has been steady or declining for over a decade.

They are getting ready for something.

The second half of the chicanery:

Buy our debt or we'll invade you.

600? That's all? Cheap is what it is. About 4% of our GDP. A small price to pay.
