Graham blasts defense spending in debt ceiling deal as ‘a joke’
The Hill ^ | 05/28/2023 | Lauren Sforza

Posted on 05/28/2023 9:26:19 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) took aim at the defense spending proposed in the debt ceiling deal, saying on Sunday that adopting what he labeled as President Biden’s defense budget would be a “joke.”

“I want to raise the debt ceiling, it would be irresponsible not to do it,” Graham told Shannon Bream on “Fox News Sunday.” “I want to control spending, I’d like to have a smaller IRS, I’d like to clawback the unused COVID money. And I know you can’t get to perfect, but what I will not do is adopt the Biden defense budget and call it as success.”

Warmongering jerk, Lindsey Graham.

Maybe he should ask the Afghans to give back all the military stuff.

Easy to tell how this grifter’s bread gets buttered.

At least Graham is consistent in wanting to raise defense spending, since he seems get off on killing Russians.

Maybe we should lower it? Let’s tell the world that we aren’t going to spend anything on defense for the next 5 years and see what happens. I’m sure the Chinese will totally ignore that opportunity. Maybe they’ll even do the same? Maybe the whole world will then sing Lennon’s, “Give peace a chance”? And then Kumbaya.

Yeah...Let’s not raise the defense spending at all. That’s the ticket.

Translation: There isn’t enough money in the defense budget for him and his buddies to launder.

No middle ground, I guess? Like having a military NOT led by political leaders interested in Genocide (such as Graham)? Perhaps then we wouldn’t need to dump so much money into the military budget, as Genocides are expensive, especially when the people you’re trying to wipe out are able to defend themselves.

Don’t fall for the crazy BS. Graham Votes and lobbies for the crazy Woke Domestic Giveaways, too.

He runs a Con. .
