Look I get that the spending is out of control in the Federal Government. We agree on that completely. But you're giving the impression that it's all the fault of defense spending.
I'm looking at amounts in total, you are focusing on only defense spending. The entire Beast is out of control and justifying defense spending for another 716 Billion after 1.3 trillion was already spent six months ago is insanity.
At some point soon, this debt balloon is gonna pop and when it does - nothing is going to be left unscathed or standing. The government will be paying our soldiers with worthless IOUs no one is going to honor.
It's not. And railing against a defense bill and any subsequent spending that in all honestly doesn't spend enough to get us back to the pre Obama days...isn't going to fix anything.
Again, we're BROKE and IN DEBT. What part of that are we missing here? 1.3 Trillion six months ago was not enough?? We gotta spend another 716 billion six months later for one year and 720 billion for the first six months of next year and another 723.5 billion for the subsequent six months and on and on and on????
If you're broke, in debt and borrowing from Payday Loans just to keep your lights on and buy fast food every day, you don't go out and buy a few new Glocks and Sig-Sauers to add to your already massive collection because you are afraid of your neighbors.
But hey, what do I know? I'm not the stupid, evil government that can print money out of thin air and take it by gunpoint from everyone to keep feeding itself to the tune of trillions of dollars in debt each year.
There are many more places where wasteful spending could be cut saving us billions in agencies like the EPA...Dept. of Education Welfare etc that would be much more cost effective.
They are not going to be cutting anything - only EXPANDING an INCREASING the rate of debt spending. 1.3 trillion six months ago - and another 716 Billion now and another 720 billion in January all for supposed Defense Spending. Not including the rest of the trillions in budgetary spending.
But, I guess the new normal is spending money we do not have and saddling our posterity to be born into debt and servitude for life.
A trillion here and a trillion there and soon we're talking interstellar amounts incomprehensible to the human mind.
