Again, what do those things have anything to do with DISCRETIONARY spending?

The cost of labor, and the cost of materials has gone up over four years. The cost of supplying the same level of service would go up accordingly.

Is English not your first language?

Is reason a foreign language for you.

Is this why you encourage giving money to third world enemies?

What part of post #126 didn't you understand.

Me post #126:Stabilizing a part of the word with foreign aid is what the liberals and you don't like. To our troops, who have to fight terrorists who breed in unstable parts of the world, it's what might save their life. You gets?

So, according to your philosophy, money buys love from third world corrupt govt. You have been anything but reasonable. Still couldn't explain why DISCRETIONARY spending should depend on inflation. What you said makes those spendings indiscretionary. If they are discretionary then they can be cut if income goes down. If we cant cut them then they are no longer discretionary, are they?
