"We're not a Triple-A [bond] country."

- David Stockman

May I bring down the rocks and bottles of USA's silent and invisible counterrevolution by disagreeing with former ReaganPod David Stockman once more? We did this often in 1981-82, as Mr. Hinckley hung around the Memorial Union, and I recall complaining bitterly to 441 Arnold bugs about David's budget ax. I may have said the Pentagon's budget should have been zero instead of the Stafford Loan and Pell grant programs. Odd how things have progressed.


U.S. Navy - Tied-up in Hawaii.
U.S. Air Force - Grounded.
U.S. Army - Gone.
U.S. Marines - Taking bad guys to Gitmo.
