Ann Coulter On Gluttons And War

Ann Coulter quite rightly points out that the military is grossly underfunded and in desperate need of more personnel and equipment. But, during these times of economic hardship where will we find the money. Is there more that the public or certain members of the public can do to help. Who needs to pull there weight? Well, weight is the operative word here. Now, I haven't read any of Ann's books but I hear that they are "controvwershull" so it is quite plausible that we can infer that somewhere in those hundreds of fine pages Ann Coulter might suggest that dealing with gluttons could provide a way of securing money in the short term.

The grossly or morbidly obese cause problems that are not just confined to the boundaries of the gargantuan stomachs. There are a myriad of social and health care problems whose financial impact is far greater that the money received as result of sales of burgers and french fries. This financial load is carried by the taxpayer and places a strain on other areas such as proper funding of the military. By sending the obese to "fat camp" or taxing there weight we could save billions on health care etc. This money could then be used to fund something more worthwhile such as proper military funding. Simple! Thank you Ann Coulter.
