There is massive waste in US defense spending. It's inside the expanded DC beltway spending. And that was done to buy everyone off so that Bush could get a consensus to invade Iraq. It's the deal that has brought down the US. For every fed or military employee in the Pentagon there is at least one and possibly three support service contractor coat holder and power point presentation specialist.
The consequence - a massive ripoff of the American taxpayer spent inside the DC metro area, and total utter incompetence at a level that rivals the worst corrupt third world dictatorship you have ever seen. The Republicans like it because of the money that goes to cronies. The Democrats like it because it is defense dollars that goes to jobs and not lethality.
I hope everyone gets it how those two GOPee clowns destroyed the United States.
I knew we were in deep trouble when I saw how much we were borrowing from China to finance the nation building.
I don’t remember the exact numbers but I was definitely taken aback.
This was a couple of years or so before the banks really went down in 2008 along with Lehman Brothers, etc.
And then along comes Barack who spends even more...
I’m just wondering when the next one is.
