A strong and large Navy presence in a community such as the one we speak of is not an overload. It is however the best insurance that you can get for an economy that goes into a recession.
Example, lets take the navy base and all of its workers, military and civilians and assume that they will be getting a paycheck from the U.S government every two weeks. This money will continue to be used to make purchases if the economy drops,, because, even if the economy drops, those government issued paychecks will keep coming.

now lets remove the navy and move regular business in, manufacturing whatever, if the economy drops guess what happens? thats right, those jobs are going to start going away, and along with it goes the purchases that the government workers would have been making.
the economy fails just like everywhere else in the country.

the Navy base in short words makes the area recession proof.
think about that before you go off and think that reducing that income level is a good idea..
also think of this. You will not be in any position to dictate what the U.S government does, prepared to be slapped by uncle sam if you try to get in his way.
You're making too much sense. He won't understand this.

IF he had a job he wouldn't be deadbroke, of course in his mental state he probably feels by not having a job, he shouldn't have to pay child support, and is teaching his ex-wife a lesson. I mean he's only the father of these children, why should he care if they have what they need to grow into healthy adults, and why should HE have to take responsibility?

APPARENTLY the judge saw through his bullsh!t and put the deadbeat in jail.

I still think someone should investigate the legality of him using library assets for his running for office, lets send him back to jail.

Now I do not see how that can be a serious question.

But in case it truly is then on election day I plan to be in the winner's box.

I never said I was going to close down the Navy Base. Just stopping the growth is all. The Navy Base growth is overloading the entire area and BCP is only making his own foolish conclutions, not mine.

I understand. Allow me to apologize for an attempt at pointing out what I assumed to be some simple economics. I fear that it has been a few years since I was privilaged to sit in on the classes while obtaining my degree at Old Dominion University while I was serving in the Navy. ( I think around the same dates that you might have been self learning the law trade while serving in the prison system) so, we are both educated to a degree, and we have both served,, in a sense.
My false assumption was that you might have the ability to understand the situation as I described it.
I was wrong, so, once again, allow me to let you follow along and try one more time to explain what is going to happen should that base be restricted from any further advancement in its duties to this country.

First off, lets agree that the Navy base is very much a business.
it produces a product
it employs thousands of people
it brings revenue (that means money) to the county and state
It creates a solid employment base in the community
and its existence creates the opportunity for thousands of private mom and pop type establishments to thrive.
In short it is an asset. (good thing) not a liability (bad thing)

Do we agree on point 1? yes____ No_____.

Next point.
Now that we see that the base is a business that produces for the community, let us equate (make equal) it to a private business that produces a product or a good and in doing so contributes to the economic stability (money keeps moving) in the community.

Any business that has an intent to stay competitive can not keep making the same product year after year without change or upgrade or new innovations, the competition is fierce and that business will find that its outdated products are no longer desired or needed and the result will be a failure of the business resulting in lost jobs, wages, and a decline in the stability of the economic standards of the community.

example, lets pretend that Henry Ford thought so Highly of the model A, he never looked to change it. Even when the other auto manufacturers were coming out with new products, Ol Henry continued on with the model A offered only in the basic black.
Question for consideration. Would in your opinion Ford Motor Company still be an active player in todays auto industry had that been the case?
yes_____ No_____

Ok, now that we agree that business must lead the market, and not follow the market in order to stay viable (keep making money) lets look back at the Navy base and the product that it produces.

First lets look at what the base produces.
It produces support, innovation, training, storage, security and logistics for the product that is our Navy. The finest in the world I might add.

Pax River just happens to be were that base is located, no different than IBM being located in Texas. Could IBM continue to produce its product and stay a viable player in its market if it moved to indiana? yes it could.
Could Pax River continue to produce its product and stay a viable player in its market if it were moved to florida? Yes, it could.

In order for any business to stay ahead of the competition it must continue to offer new or improved product. At times this requires the addition of usable space to accomadate that new product. If a business can no longer grow due to restraints on space, the logical thing is for the business to move to where it can continue to be a leader in the market.

Ford Motor company produces automobiles (something people with jobs own to drive to work) and it could not have stayed ahead of or even with the market if additional space was not obtained for assembly lines and offices. People wanted choice, Ford had no option but to expand so that choice could be offered.

IBM produces computer and office equipment. Back in the early days, not much space was needed to produce 5 different lines of typewriter. but today had IBM not expanded it size, it would not have been able to keep up with the demand for newer products and greater choices.

The Navy base produces those items that I mentioned above. In order for our Navy to continue to be the greatest in the world, and for our service men/women to have the level of safety and protection that they deserve and have earned, the base must continue to produce new products. there is no option.
The government is going to produce that new line of jet fighters, and the will have a base to be tested from, and they will have a place that will render support for them.
If (like you could do it anyway) the growth of the base were restricted to the point of no longer being a favorable choice to place this responsibility, The government would over time continue to reduce the workload of Pax River, and eventually it would close.

Im sure that the work that is coming to Pax River could be done anywhere that there is land to do it. Those people that are already at Pax that would be needed, can be moved to where the work goes.

You start mandating a limit to the growth of any company or business, and you will end up losing that business in the end.


so, before you refer to someone as foolish, I suggest that you get up from that student chair that sits in front of the computer that you did not help to purchase, and you go back to the shelves and find a book on Economics for Dummys.. and read it.

Nobody likes the traffic or the build up.NOBODY.
but the alternative right now is to basically put the community in danger of a shutdown.
The pizza place on the corner can not stay in business if the paychecks from the base do not flow into his establishment.
