Its hard to say..
But watching Sen. Biden on CSPAN - in front of the Base Closure Commission *
*I found it hard not to lapse into 'conspiracy theory' mode..
Very hard!!!
*It just doesn't make sense otherwise! *
But, if you look at some possible 'worst case scenarios' it starts looking a lot more cohesive..
And ominous..
My gut feeling is that
the GOP may be trying to funnel as much money as possible to their corporate donors by screwing up things as much as possible, which will cost money to fix.. eventually..
Or, are they planning to fight a nuclear war in which they expect US cities to be targets? Or ???
Or are they expecting a future with lots of civil unrest in the cities and urbanized areas.. planning, in advance for a sort of China June 4, 1989 scenario?
One in which the military is called in to fight the American people - in the cities?
Who knows.. I don't even want to speculate..
The testimony says that they seem as if they are NOT 'trying to save money'..
At least thats what the testimony seems to say again and again..
Making these moves will probably cost more money..
One example - they will lose a lot of skilled National Guard personnel, who will cost a huge amount of money to replace..
People are NOT going to move..
I don't know about the military fighting Americans scenario.. (kind of like Margaret Atwood's Handmaid's Tale - but still, you should read this book) my gut feeling is that they are just trying to create a situation that ends up costing the government lots of money to fix.. In some cases they will have to rebuild everything! National Labs! That will take YEARS..
How 'profitable'.. NOT...
:(
