How many non-Great Lakes ship building facilities are left in the US ?
To: Paul Ross
Yes, we have to fund ILLEGAL ALIENS, the pork-loaded highway bill, massive medicare expenditure, and the failed "GOVERNMENT OF LOUISIANA" --- far more important than national defense.....
Thank you George, and Washington!

I think we are seeing an impending clash not just with the domestic spendaholics in Congress...but between the DOD and the White House/OMB which has been underfunding the Navy ship-procurements right along...and was on track to cut our subs back to only 28.

Part of the problem, IMO, is not just Congress and the Administration, but the bloat at defense contractors and at the pentagon.

I believe Strategy Page has been talking about political cronyisim at some of the big Navy shipyards as creating the budget and timetable problems for them.
The Navy has been unable to bid out the ship building contracts to the most effective and efficient yards because of the Congress critters.
