Do Base Closures Really Hurt Local Economies?
My U.S. senators and representatives are up in arms over a planned military base closure here in the Pittsburgh area, which only goes to prove that it was built here for political reasons and closure is being fought for political reasons. Clearly, as far as they're concerned, we'll lose all kinds of money. Well, maybe we'll lose taxpayer dollars, but according to Forbes, we may actually do better economically without the base.
As far as I'm concerned, closing the base is a good idea because it makes our area less of a target!
