should the government make guns (spend money on war) or make butter (spend money at home i,e. infrastructure etc)

What is Guns & Butter???

I swear I'm not being sarcastic when I ask, "WHAT do they teach in school these days?" This was part of civics class and part of American history class when I was in school. Have they totally dropped that part of the curriculum?

Spending money on BOTH

It's saying: "We will spend money on war abroad and for the American people here at home, even though we really don't have the money. So we'll just print more."

Spending lots of cash on foreign policy and domestic policy at the same time.

Tends to result in deficits and debt that need to be paid later.

If Ron Paul doesn't win this election we all need to go buy more guns and ammo, we can live without butter. LOL

Civics is not taught in school anymore. Not much of anything is taught in school anymore.

Butter = Domestic spending

Guns = Military spending

God help us. Add this to the fact that they do not teach reading, do not teach grammar of any sort and don't really teach math and science.

I have to wonder just WHAT they do teach.

That is why they often skipped over Ron at the debates. It was to remove any chance he would have had to explain even more some of these concepts.

Mecklenburg County has. They don't teach civics or economics. They're teaching no child left behind.
