That is a total non-sequiter. It doesn’t excuse liberals saying military spending is welfare spending.

You were trying to make the argument, it seems, that the States that have lots of military bases got those bases because they're the best-suited. That's not the case and you know it- they got those bases because their politicians have a lot of pull, in many cases. Let's not pretend Virginia is doing something noble by selflessly allowing the Federal governmemt to plow billions of dollars into naval bases, any more than Maryland is a martyr for letting the Feds spend billions on NIH and its sattelites,

“they got those bases because their politicians have a lot of pull,”

Once again, you repeat the obvious, but it is still a non-sequiter because regardless of why red states have the bases liberals cannot say that the spending to those states for those bases is entirely a state benefit as thehy are trying to say itis. That is just plain stupid. So, what’s your point?
