Saying the quiet part out loud.

Even I have not said anything this stupid:

“Standing with our allies against Russian aggression isn’t charity. In fact — it’s a direct investment in replenishing America’s arsenal with American weapons built by American workers. Expanding our defense industrial base puts America in a stronger position to out-compete China.”

~ Sen. Mitch McConnell.^<1>

Amen to that, Mitch.  We should ramp up weapons production so we can “out-compete” China and put their weapons production efforts in the dust.  That’s what America is all about.  Weapons production. 

That’s what all economic activity is all about actually.  Use up the weapons and ammo you’ve already paid for.  Blow it up in a reckless, lunatic war.  Pay more money to replace weapons and ammo destroyed.    

And . . . give additional money to Ukraine to (1) pay Ukrainian civil servants’ salaries and pension, (2) enrich corrupt Ukrainian politicians and generals, and (3) pay bribes to U.S. politicians.  Talk about return on the dollar!

It’s good I’ve got Mitch to sort this out for me.  I now understand that when I bought my car a while back the wisest thing for me to do after two years would have been for me to blow it up and help the auto makers and unions by buying another car.
