Issue 1 War Dollars

Issue one is all about the way we should spend money on wars.  If the government should have more control or if the people should have more of the power to decide what we should spend on the wars.  Whether the government should be able to use Power of the Purse to manipulate the people to go with the spending towards war.  Also whether the Commander-in-chief should be able to say if the country should go to war or not or whether the people should have a larger say in the process.
I think the Commander in chief should have a say to whether we go to war or not because he knows whats best for the country.  He knows if it can help or hurt our country.  If the war can benifit us or not.  If not for these things and the people deciding whether or not we should go to war it would cause a lot of internal fighting with the people.  Most people would say not to go to war so soilders don't die but then you have the few who would say go to war and then there is a conflict. Congress also knows when to stop funding for wars so we should have confidence to leave it up to them.  Also someone who agrees is Jim Hightower who is a populist. http://www.jimhightower.com/node/5729
