Double standards of bellicose anti-spending conservatives
by hamilcarr inhypocrites?.
implicitly, some advocates of continued largesse for the pentagon concede that the case cannot be made fully in terms of our need to be safe from physical attack.
ironically--even hypocritically, since many of those who make the case are in other contexts anti-government spending conservatives--they argue for a kind of weaponized keynesianism that says military spending is important because it provides jobs and boosts the economy.

My first encounter with Castellano felt like knives being thrown at me. Latin American variants are much softer.

Care to explain how?
Would you favor cutting in military spending? The problem with you is that you're constantly making high claims without any back up. Prove me that America will falter if the military budget gets lowered.

There are hypocrites everywhere. To use military spending as a Keynesian tool is just as stupid as using spending in other areas. Many point to the size of the military budget as evidence of bellicosity, but in reality it is a giant engine for redistribution and political favors as well as existing to serve its core function (natinal defense).
Still the core function of the military is a legitimate function of government; without a sword and the willingness to use it, there is no plow and the fruit it provides.
Nice example of doubletalk. Actually you perfectly fit the description of a bellicose anti-spending con.

Hypocrites?
Implicitly, some advocates of continued largesse for the Pentagon concede that the case cannot be made fully in terms of our need to be safe from physical attack. Ironically--even hypocritically, since many of those who make the case are in other contexts anti-government spending conservatives--they argue for a kind of weaponized Keynesianism that says military spending is important because it provides jobs and boosts the economy. Spending on military hardware does produce some jobs, but it is one of the most inefficient ways to deploy public funds to stimulate the economy. When I asked him years ago what he thought about military spending as stimulus, Alan Greenspan, to his credit, noted that from an economic standpoint military spending was like insurance: if necessary to meet its primary need, it had to be done, but it was not good for the economy; and to the extent that it could be reduced, the economy would benefit. http://www.thenation.com/doc/20090302/frank?rel=hp_picks
