Thank you for returning to rational budget discussion.
All things must be cut. There is just not enough money to pay for it all.
Agreeing that a defense budget should be cut does not say that nothing else should be cut. That is an overused debate tactic for any announced cut for anything. Sure, in this administration, it’s probably the outcome, but I doubt even defense budgets will suffer to the extent that it could even remotely be described as “gutting”.
I don’t take the personal stuff too personal for long, and I can dish out as well as I take. No permanent offense taken or intended. You’re just as much of an asshole as me, and I mean that as a compliment.
Please do me a favor. Please dispatch the the profanity. Please. It isn’t allowed here and we don’t need it. Thanks very much.
