Downsizing the military without crippling it
(Government)
by J. B. Cannon (20 March 2012 17:31:55)
I was speaking with my husband the other day about how we could cut a lot of spending out of the military budget without gutting our ability to fight and defend this great nation.

(Government, Law)
by J. B. Cannon (12 March 2012 17:22:22)

Contraception insurance and the Catholic church
(Government, Law, Politics, Society)
by J. B. Cannon (27 February 2012 16:58:07)
The problem with all this goes much further than infringing on the First Amendment. This is another case of the government usurping more power and eroding our liberties. How on Earth is it okay for the government to tell a private business what products it must offer and for how much?
