1,000 days of continuing resolutions in 10 years
Former Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis said a year ago that military had operated under 1,000 days of debilitating continuing resolutions (CR) over the past decade. Yet another continuing resolution looms again this fall. Even as Congress moves ahead with its spending bills for the Defense Department, the odds remain low that both parties can agree to an overall spending level by the start of the fiscal year still. Only about 37 legislative work days remain before September 30. This means that federal agencies, including the U.S. military, will almost certainly begin another year under a spending freeze at last year’s budget levels.

If something will hurt the military AND Trump, the democrats are happier than a dung beetle in a cow pasture to make it happen. ****slapping
