Silly Sarah And Ft Meade

“Silly Sarah” is playing political ping-pong with your paycheck. Let’s start with the numbers, because numbers don’t lie—unlike some politicians I could name. Fort Meade, in Anne Arundel County, is a beast. We’re talking 64,000 workers—soldiers, civilians, contractors—pumping *billions* into Maryland’s economy. According to the Fort Meade Alliance, this place supports 125,729 jobs statewide, with $9.2 billion in paychecks. That ain’t pocket change, folks—that’s the kind of cash that keeps our restaurants serving crab cakes, our schools teaching kids, and our housing market hotter than a Maryland summer. Fort Meade isn’t just a military base—it’s the heart of our local economy
