The Bill is obviously not going to pass but is a shining example how our U.S. government is no longer operating by the will of the people, but instead the interest of those few in power.

Notice how our pro war Republican government, which our troops are fighting for, and support 100%, is now closing bases? Interesting how nationwide they are quoting about 30,000 military and civilian jobs will be lost due to the proposed cuts... yet some select states would GAIN jobs... oddly enough Texas is cut out to gain 8,000 military jobs from the bases closing (SOURCE). And at the Iraq war costing $177million a day, about 5.4 Billion a month (SOURCE) Yet the savings from closing all these bases closing is a mere $5Billion a YEAR. (SOURCE) It would take nearly 100 years to recoupe the cost of the Iraq war.. that's if we stopped the war today!

I think porn in Ohio is the last thing the lawmakers there should be focused on at the moment. At least it's a legal source of income! If the base closures occur Ohio will be losing big time as the following bases will be closing (SOURCE) :

It's unclear how many jobs will be lost in Ohio needless to say the restructuring will be taxing on the local economy and personnel involved. With transfers from other states to Ohio bases some say Ohio might gain 241 jobs (SOURCE) Isn't it odd a porn board is discussing Ohio’s real issues, while Ohio politicians attack porn? I think it's easier for them to divert the issues to a heated topic like porn instead of facing the real issues like their economy and livelihood of their people. My .00002cents :francais:
