Congress should eliminate ALL federal discretionary funding in every department and agency. Those are the funds that are used to influence federal employees to stay silent on the government’s abuses. It’s hush money.
Right, or worse, we will have to remove the collaborators from leadership first; it may not be a lack of gonads so much as they are working with and for the Rats against America. In the present situation, the GOP would pass such a bill, Obama would threaten a veto and the GOPe would fold with a weak whimper and a Boehner tear.
Finally! The Republicans are doing some good!
Our feckless leader will veto a DEFENSE bill if they do that. I’m sure of that. What’s that crap doig in a defense bill anyway?
Because dear leader has declared it the biggest threat to peach and safety that the world has EVER known! Was that a freudian slip, peach instead of peace, I am leaving it cuz both work!
The science is settled! There is no rational reason to study it further anywhere let alone in the defence budget.
I can’t believe these clowns actually think they are going to do budgets and get cuts. I can’t believe any conservative still buys this “we are going to do real budgets...” line. Why would obama even give them the time of day on a budget. He will simply wait until the current CR runs out and then say “government shutdown, it’s the Republicans fault...” and Boner and McWeasal will need to change their Depends before sprinting to the nearest MSM partisan hack telling them they surrender and will give the president whatever $$$ he needs to keep their beloved government in operation.
You are probably right, but I have seen stories where they basically were saying the US military was planning for problems caused by “global warming”... this is despite the fact that satellite data shows that there has been none for 18 years or more.
Why study settled science?
I’d bet 10 or 20 per cent of the “defense budget” is similar irrelevant earmarks.
You’re probably right. Politicians know that the best way to try to make the budget for your pet project “cut proof” is to put it n the defense budget.
Why is any more research even needed?
The “scientific” community has assured us that Global Warming is happening, it is inevitable, and there’s nothing we can do about it now.
That money should be spend on ships, because with sea level rise, we will need many more of them.
Real conservatives will do whatever they can to cut wherever they can.
This is one thing they might actually do. it’s a fairly marginal cut that is supported by the base, with whom, they are not in the best graces right now.
