Re part:
“Things have gotten so bad that a number of retired generals are publicly speaking out about the ‘purge’ of the U.S. military that they believe is taking place. As you will see below, dozens of highly decorated military leaders have been dismissed from their positions over the past few years.
So why is this happening? What is going on right now is absolutely crazy especially during a time of peace. Is there a deliberate attempt to reshape the military and remove those who don’t adhere to the proper ‘viewpoints’ ? Does someone out there feel a need to get officers that won’t cooperate out of the way?”
Comment:
During a time of peace, maybe we don’t really need, or can afford, so many highly paid tax absorbers. Then again, in my area, they retire many civil service and police after only 20 years, just so they can hire new recruits. The retired ones keep getting paid.
But for social security retirees? The gov’t wants THEM to work 45 years plus, or until they actually die. TPTB obviously don’t want early recruits on Soc Sec to free up jobs for the private sector.
Basically, IMO, all the artificially created unneeded overhead occupations, created and expanded to override off shoring, are in contraction like retail, real estate, medical, gov’t employment etc. The military is just another bloated big business sector like GM was at one time.
And think about all the outside countries that benefitted from our military. Did any of them pay taxes to the USA? Look at China and all the profits THEY made off the USA. Were they ever 1099nd? Did they ever pay any income tax to the USA?? No.
And then when Americans buy their crap THEY pay the sales tax, 8.65% here. Think about it. We buy a foreign made product and WEEEE pay the tax. 🙂
