Take your bean-counting to the welfare office, first. Clean up that mess ... THEN you’ll have some moral authority to bitch and moan about the Navy.

Yeah. Same old song about not goring someone's cherished government program.

"Cut the other one instead!"

Conservatives cut both. That is the source of fiscal authority.

OK. You're right. We don't need a Navy at all ... people get KILLED on those "ship" things. Whadda friggin' waste o' money.

Oh, yes. There's a Constitutional mandate to build and maintain a Navy. And the value to that Navy of morale and civilian good will cannot be measured in dollars. This is something no bean-counter will ever comprehend.

Meanwhile, there's no Constitutional authority whatsoever for the welfare office to even exist. Demolish the whole disgusting edifice!

I see from your profile page that you have "Gone International".

Fine. Begone with you. I have no interest whatsoever in anything you have to say.
