SP Week-End: The Afghan Tragedy Claims Another Victim
I have had profound concerns about Afghanistan and the futility of it all. I continue to be concerned about how this war continues to be fought as the United States continues to be faced with profound financial challenges.
As I write this, State and Local Governments are faced with layoffs due to the collapse of the revenue base. It was the very layoffs that caused the unemployment rate to move up during the month of September.
Mr. Obama's opponents jumped on the rise in unemployment as a "failure" of the policies, it seems as if there needs to be a concerted effort to insure that the home front is built up. It seems to me that there needs to be a better way that sending monies overseas for a potentially lost cause.
