When you look at the lineup of Chairmanships, it's scary.

All the ultra left wing ( being gracious) kooks in the dim party.

In March 1993 the Democrats were contemplating the defense budget that called for a reduction of $10.7 billion and a cut in troop strength by 375,000. The cut was too much for Senate Armed Services chairman Sam Nunn but too little for House counterpart Ron Dellums. In the end Nunn was able to reduce the massive cuts. Unfortunately, there are no Sam Nunns left in the Democrat Party, but there are plenty of the Ron "Red" Dellums group, most specifically John Conyers.
