I’m all for the military and don’t want to see one dollar cut - but - they over estimate their budget needs by at least 50% each year so if they do get cut by 30% they’re still 120% to the good.
and this assertion is based on an in depth understanding of PPBES or other expert knowledge such as.....?
Let’s not forget, the DoD will get over $600 billion per year to play with. $600+ billion. Our tax revenues are about $2.2 trillion and are way too high as it is. The DoD gets about 1/4th of our real tax money. Imagine the fed didn’t borrow another $2 trillion and stuck with just what they took in. The DoD is saying they can’t make it on that. Good grief.
