Id rather see the Govt. spend tax money on racing than pizzing it away on foreign aid and illegal alliens any day.

I have to wonder why they would spend money on sponsoring anybody. If they can afford to do that defense budget is too high.

Always wondered what the Pentagon's logic was for sponsoring any race car. Is it PR,troop morale,or recruiting ? Have to agree with Ed & X-Tech,gov't is damned sure expert at wasting other people's money.

I just read an editorial on Comp +by DSR and what they said seems to make a lot of sense.
I'd rather see the money go to race teams for public relations/recruiting than to the banana republics we send billions to in foreign aid.Half of them bastards hate us anyway.

Agree 100% on influence peddling abroad , usually comes back to bite us in the a**. Surprisingly the amounts aren't that great, they claim(FOX NEWS website) $7mil NASCAR and $5mil NHRA (Army) ,just doesn't look good when the deficit has the public's attention. If memory serves me right,their involvement started as a PR gambit at the end of VietNam era when anything military was held in low regard . I have to wonder if its a good investment when you could park a tank, a 109 and a 110 next to a card table to get "leads" as the KyARNG used to do. Seems a lot more cost effective .

BTW having been in some "allied" countries receiving our aid , had to wonder why we supported governments so anathema to our values .

I don't agree with pumping money into foreign countries either. That should also stop.
