" The debate over defense expenditures is a whole
'nother discussion. "

only if you live in your own little world. It's called guns and butter
in econ 101....

do we spend money on body armor or solar panels?

Doesn't matter whether you create 10 solar panels or 10 million. For
every green job created you eliminate 2.2 existing jobs.

Want proof? How much does Spain spend on body armor? They are not a
military power. The Caldaza study of Spain shows that for every green
job created it eliminates 2.2 regular jobs from the economy with no
spending on body armor.

Trading body armor for solar panels will only exacerbate the problem.

The Hole has not been fixed... the problem was theory and now the
repair is theory.... The hole is still there. it comes and goes and
changes and for all we know always did.


""Global ozone dropped a little bit [after CFCs were banned], but the
good news is that if we had done nothing, it would have gotten really,
really bad."

Now a complete rebound seems imminent. Some scientists project that by
2080 global ozone will return to 1950s levels."


*seems imminent* ?????? The problem that never was might have been
fixed? And you call that science?

yes. anyone who expects science to be unerring truth is not playing
with a full deck anyhow IMHO.

Science is what it is - imperfect but essential to all life on earth.

That would be guns or butter. Guns and butter is the use of welfare and
other payments to the population so they don't get too upset about the
warfare gravy train.
