Lewis knows this and that's why he discusses the prospect of some kind of economic support. Inhofe and Cunningham just sound bitter and twisted.

We have no moral responsibility to help them do jack shit! They are like any other population that has cultivated an economy around a military presence and milked it for all it was worth. When it goes away it's gone - they should be thankful for what they made from it while it was there just like every other community that loses a military presence. Pork barrel politics placed them where they were and the lack of it, and perhaaps the end of the need for it takes it away. We owe them nothing.
