Defense Secretary James Mattis has privately cast doubt on President Trump's proposed Pentagon spending levels, telling members of Congress that the $603 billion request is not enough to fulfill Trump's vow to rebuild the military, CNN reported Friday.

Mattis has not spoken out against the spending plan publicly. But privately, the defense chief has told lawmakers that even with the proposed boost in funding, the Defense Department would not receive enough to do everything Trump has proposed.

Congress seems to be able to find money for b.s. projects but they can't seem to find money for two things; our military and to build the dang wall.  Enough is enough.  Time to call our Congressmen and DEMAND that they find a way; they can cut funding to other  countries, staffing of our park rangers and maintaining vacant land, EPA, IRS, etc., to fund our military and secure our borders; two issues that are vital to the well being of our country.  By the way do we really need to be spending $2.6 million dollars  training Chinese prostitutes to drink more responsibly on the job???
