Let’s cut all programs that primarily give money to democrats.
That was the thrust of what I was replying to people whoi claim to be tea party types and want to cut DOD. Cutting DOD is a very bad move.
What year was that budget taken from and can you link it.
I’m sorry but we have a series of bad choices ahead of us. The alternatives are worse choices. If we don’t get our debt under control in the next three to five years, sooner if interest rates spike, we will only have the military our debt holders think we should have.
No one is saying that we should gut the military but nothing can be sacred either.
You don’t think there is waste in DOD?
No you are doing it the wrong the way. It is the job of the Inspector General to run audits of the various departments to find there is waste. He is not doing his job.National Defense is guaranteed by the US Constitution to the individual States under Article 1, Section 8
“black budget”
That’s a term that I’ve not heard before so, okie dokie...I’ll take your word for it.
I sincerely hope that’s the case.
You never heard about it. I am a huge fan of black budget projects. I always hope that the US military use it often. The F-117,SR-71 and B-2 bomber were former black budget projects
Since it’s called “black budget”, I’m glad that I, and most of the public at large, haven’t heard about it. ;o)
Keep me informed of the latest black budget projects of which you are aware. They are fascinating...
I will
Thanks!

DOD “Waste” = Black Projects.
Where do you image those funds come from? The Obama Stash?
Cutting DHHS back in line with other budgets would nearly ballance the books. Cut the to $15-20 billion, save $850 billion.
Heh :)

But since no one - not you either - will mention DHHS, then the conclusion must be that your and others priorities IS cutting DOD, while leaving DHHS untouched and in the hands of one of the most radical leftist in 0bama’s cabinet.
Cut DHHS to $15-20 billion, save $850 billion.
Right now, Obama has already cut defense. He's also put a freeze on development.
As our enemies push on and discover new and better ways to defend themselves, let's let the U.S. lag behind in this area as well as every other area. We may as well start acting like the third world country we're becomming.
Bingo! Cutbacks and freezes are already happening.
Oh good grief! It is impossible to eliminate bureaucratic waste, DOD certainly has that sort of waste, but, in the haste to elimiante it, multiple vital programs will be slashed and the bureaucratic waste will continue.
Always it is cut DOD or NASA, never is it cut the giant budget hog at DHHS. Why do you focus om the very people who are giving you the freedom to do as you do and not the people (DHHS) who are focused on telling you what to do?
Teachers are not defending our country, nor is their existance or funding a Constitutional mandate. DOD is.
We are at war for our very existance, in case you missed it, and other countries are either making preperations or are in the process of upgrading their mils. We have aging, destroyed, or obsolesent equipment which desperately need to be either replaced, upgraded, or repaired.
Gates and Obama will welcome your cuts...
