“The only gubmint spending that this bunch of bozos can cut is in the military! Bunch of dumbells!”
As one who spent many years in the military I can assure you that the military is just as adept at overspending as any other government entity. In fact, I suspect that finding an entity that does not overspend would match the hunt for the needle in the haystack.
I’m certainly not going to jump on them when they’re doing something right. I just wish they’d apply this same logic to the rest of the government. There are entire cabinet-level departments that are just as redundant as JiffyCOM.
Of course, you are correct. But, most here view the military as a legitimate govt. endeavor and the handrwiting is on the wall - they will spend on anything that is illegitimate and kill off all that is legitimate, e.g. courts, harbors, roads, etc.
