Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded because it comprises and develops the germ of every other.所有的敌人对公众自由的战争，也许，最可怕的是，因为它包含并发展了细菌的所有其他。 War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes … known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few.… No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.战争是军队的母公司;从这些着手债务和税金...已知的手段使许多统治下的少数几个。 ...没有一个国家可以保留其自由处于不断的战争。

— James Madison, Political Observations, 1795 -詹姆斯麦迪逊，政治意见， 1 795年

President Bush yesterday VETOED a measure to fund education, job training and health programs (his sixth presidential veto, so far), BUT signed a separate bill that gives the Pentagon US$ 460 billion for the fiscal year that began Oct. 1.昨天布什总统否决了一项措施，以基金教育，职业培训和健康计划（第六次总统的否决，至今） ，但签署了一项单独的法案，使美国五角大楼四千六点零零亿美元的财政年度10月1日开始。 This  $460 billion Pentagon budget for FY 2008 represents a 10% increase from the FY2007 budget and DOES NOT include the $196 billion dollars that Mr. Bush needs for the continuing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, putting the grand total military spending for the current fiscal year of 2008 at around $ 660 billion.这四千六百点零亿美元五角大楼预算的2008年财政年度增加了10 ％的2007年度预算和不包括一千九百六十〇点零亿美元美元，布什先生需要继续伊拉克和阿富汗战争，把大军费总额的本财政年度2008年左右六千六百亿美元。 Certainly a very good use for your hard-earned tax dollars.当然，一个非常好的使用您辛苦赚来税收美元。

The relationship between out-of-control military spending and the national deficit is obvious.之间的关系失去控制的军费开支和国家的赤字是显而易见的。 Another contributor to the increasing national deficit are tax cuts for the wealthiest 5% of Americans.另一个贡献日益增加的国家赤字的减税最富有的5 ％的美国人。 The American tax system is now so highly regressive that the third richest man on earth, Warren Buffett, pays 17.7% income tax on yearly earnings.美国的税收制度现在已经高度递减，第三富有的人在地球上，巴菲特，支付17.7 ％所得税年度收入。 The average American pays around 30%.美国人的平均支付30 ％左右。

Why do Republican’s that call themselves fiscally conservative end up increasing the national debt?为什么共和党的这一要求自己保守的财政年底增加了国家债务？ They would like to kill Social Security by forcing the government to borrow from Social Security funds to finance servicing the ever-increasing national debt.他们想杀死社会保障，迫使政府借用社会保障资金服务日益增加的国家债务。

OK.确定。 But why would Republicans want to kill Social Security?但是，为什么共和党人想杀死社会保障？ They’d like to prove their mantra that government does not work and things should be left for the "markets".他们想证明自己的口头禅，政府没有工作和事情应由“市场” 。 It’s all a shell game.这全都是一种壳游戏。
