[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1143908, member: 12508"] The GOP likes war, because it's "good for business". Big defense contractors, food purveyors, and many other industries cash-in when we are at war. The Carlisle Group, Haliburton, General Dymanics...the list goes on and on. John Boehner, who is always decrying excessive spending, was pushing the hardest for a second engine program for one of our latest fighter planes. There was nothing wrong with the engine that was chosen, but having a pure-pork backup engine would have meant huge money for a factory that happened to be located in his home state. All politicians want to bring home the pork, but some of the worst offenders are those that scream the loudest to cut government spending. [/QUOTE]
