Strong in this one, the force of the Dark Side is. "

Luke, study the stats, Luke, study the stats."


Having lived through the 90's in the aerospace industry I can tell you
all about the "stats". Development funding and pocurement reduced such
that we lost between 25 and 33% of our workforce. Each new round of
layoffs had a new means of accomplishing them and new criteria -- yeah,
exciting times. The only segment of government that suffered from *real*
cuts (vs. the phony slowing the rate of growth is a cut "cuts") was the
defense department.


Anybody who does not understand that the democrats are weak on defense
simply doesn't know American history in the modern era.
