Obama's the Military Industrial Complex's Favorite Child: More Nukes and More War

Obama may have told us he is pulling us out of Iraq, but the budget shows $6.5 billion more in war spending in Iraq next year. It's really the never ending war. Wanna bet we are borrowing money from China to blow up bombs in Iraq?

We all know the promise Obama made in October 2007 when it came to these wars. He promised the first thing he would do would be to end the wars. He lied.

Obama also made another promise, but it appears the military industrial complex has Obama's attention. Did you know under Obama, the United States is producing more nuclear weapons than it did during the Cold War. Yes Democrats who once made Reagan out to be a crazy cowboy with his finger ready on the button are going to have to face the facts. Obama is the nuclear president despite this promise.

"Today, I state clearly and with conviction America's commitment to seek the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons," Obama once said. The reality of that is far different. Obama is overseeing a large increase of nuclear weapons.

Shrinking America's nuclear arsenal has turned out to be far easier said than done. Despite the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) cuts, federal spending on the atomic stockpile is actually beyond Cold War levels, driven by congressional hawks and powerful nuclear labs eager to "modernize" the arsenal and fund projects that could spark a new arms race.

During the Cold War, the United States spent, on average, $35 billion a year on its nuclear weapons complex. Today, it spends an estimated $55 billion.

And yet, hippy liberals will still believe hope and change is coming. They will remain in denial as they cast their vote for Obama next year. It's the equivalent of conservatives claiming to be against Obamacare voting for Mitt Romney or Newt Gingrich, who both support the mandate that forces you to purchase healthcare insurance.
