If there were 100 people employed by the US military, that would raise the budget by 1 million dollars. 1000 would mean ten million. 10,000 would be 100 million. 100,000 would be a billion dollar increase. Does anyone actually know how many people collect "military salaries" so that I can see just how unrealistic this suggestion is?
As for the whole debate as to who is bringing up the draft: The people on the right think the left is doing it. The people on the right think the left is doing it. Maybe no one is doing it. Maybe no one is actually bringing it up. That would be nice, because it means we could stop bickering about who is bringing it up and why.
