McDonnell and Rep. J. Randy Forbes (R-Va.) accused the Obama administration of looking at the defense budget for cuts instead of at other parts of the federal government. The administration is "selling off our military at auction to pay for its social programs," Forbes said.
Virginia ping
Just taking a page from the Clinton handbook. Gut the military to bankroll your “social justice” and political favors.
The little thug in the White House thinks Virginia needs to show some more respect.
Well, Northern Va. needs a little cleaning out anyway. How about yanking some of those night-crawler lobbists out of there too?
Obama will announce that part of his job creation program will have the military command centers outsourced to India.
Atleast VA reps will start screaming. When BRAC announced closing of Ft Monmouth NJ, none of her reps made a peep in 2005. Reason, the real estate developers lobbied for the silence as they salivated on the land the fort would yield in terms of MacMansions while the mayors drooled over the huge prop taxes they could collect. But by 2007 the real estate market tanked and the politicians then started to panic after the real estate developers changed their minds on developing the fort lands. The scheme backfired for the NJ polis, because the state will lose 5300 jobs plus 15000 supporting contractors and millions in local business as it officially will close in 2011. NJ will end up with a fenced in abandoned fort with no real estate development and the mayors are stuck securing it against squatters and trespassers to avoid any liabilities if someone got hurt on the lands.
See what I told you?
The AnnointedIdiot’s play on retribution for VA’s staunch stance against ObamaCare, Immigration, etc.
