Well why not take it a step farther though? Cut the military expenditures back to a merely obscene half trillion a year, save close to $250 billion a year, or another $2.5 trillion over 10.Mr. Perfect wrote:Says who.Skin Job wrote: What do you mean by all combined? Don't get me wrong here, I want the US to maintain a strong military, but what we have now is just ridiculous overkill.
We have many people who want to see us destroyed.No wonder we need to drum up support for wars on a regular basis, I mean how could you not with all that hardware going to waste, not to mention feeling a need to justify its existence.
That's because you've been suckered by the Democrat media who are pulling your strings. The Ryan budget cuts an unprecedented $5 trillion from the baseline. If you can't take that seriously then you can't be taken seriously.A true deficit hawk would put EVERYTHING on the table, which is why I don't take Republicans seriously in this regard.
I'm confused how you can pretend to be serious about cutting the waistline when you refuse to touch the biggest pieces.
And "I'm less unserious than the other guy" doesn't really cut it.
What is left to cut? You won't touch military, because you worship blood.
You won't touch medicare or social security because old people vote.
So you're left patting yourself on the back as you go after trimming the slivers - the federal departments. Y'all are trying to dine every day on KFC snack packs and think you're healthy because you switch to diet coke.
Oh, and about the military vs entitlements business? Military is an entitlement. It's the largest federal welfare program in the country.
