Bang-bang not best for U.S. bucks
Commentator John M. Rosenberg’s depiction of the Afghan
National Army as illiterate kindergartners staffing a sham force was disturbing
and disappointing (“Afghan forces, a study in contrasts,” April 3). If this is
what you can buy for a trillion dollars, I want my money back.
And then, I want a fully funded Postal Service that does not bill pension
funds in advance to make the service look like a loser. I want a Medicare system
that allows it to bargain with drug companies on prescription prices now
accelerating the system’s financial and actuarial problems. I want a fully
funded and staffed Interstate Commerce Commission to break up banks and
horizontal monopolies, which have become the trusts of the 21st century. In
other words, put America to work on America.
