PRyno is a fraud, especially wrt The Budget.

[Mr. K]

what does this moron think - that Trump could build a ship in a year?

An actual photo of the GOP congress hard at work enacting President Trumps agenda and mandate from the voters.

The Pentagon takes more than one year just to cut a fart.

I’ve said before and I’ll say again. Drone subs with both middle and drone launch capabilities stationed remotely undersea with remote operation from NORAD or similar facilities. Very cheap due to the significantly reduced fuel consumption and manpower requirements.

I would be shocked to see an actual budget passed by Congress given the current anti Trump environment. Obama’s spending priorities will likely go forth through continuing resolutions. Bad news for the military.

[dljordan]

Plenty of money at HHS and HUD.

Seeing that it takes about 7 years to build a ship after designing it, it isn’t realistic to build this during his presidency; unless current shipyards, add a ton of more workers that can do this.

[lurk]

What kind of ships are we talking about? More expensive concept lemons like the Zumwalt?

We need ships that work and don’t break the bank.

[Don Corleone]

Ships cannot be delivered overnight by Amazon. It takes time.

[DoodleDawg]

Do we need a bigger fleet? Or do we need fewer commitments?

[napscoordinator]

Ok. I accept that trump is starting rebuilding slower then I want as long as that 800 billion is cut from Medicaid.

[TBP]

This is not good. We need to build up.

This is the wrong way to “cut” defense spending. You can cut the Pentagon bureaucracy, end single-source contracts to lower supply costs, and stop building duplicative weapons systems. But don’t cut out the things our military needs to do its job effectively.
