21 trillion.

Expected to go to 28 trillion by end of 2020s.

and that’s being optimistic.

Of course, I don’t know how Unions would feel about any of this.

Screw the unions. They’ve been the shills of the rat party for decades.

Pentagon to Congress: Do your job and protect the border legislatively
.........................................
Someone’s asking Congress to do its job? That’s even more of a waste of breath than asking America’s education “professionals” to do their job!

I can name hundreds of ways, as Military is used as Pork Projects by both parties. All you have to do is look in the Pig Book to find many. Planes, Ships, tanks, weapons we spend Billions on they don’t want or need. $7 K speed bumps for 5 mph parking lots mainly Ret. Seniors use.

The NEW Electronic Pharmacy check in system they put in is DOWN after the Snafu of the Installation less than 3 months ago. Now there are only 2 techs at the windows 1 at Intake 1 at Pick up.

Can anyone find the article where it was reported the Military held one H of a party costing TONS of money? It was the only one covered, out of all the others like ED, FDA, DEA, CDC, and the other alphabets. If they have that much at the end of the year they can certainly afford a 10% CUT TO ALL CONGRESSIONAL BUDGETS.

Oh that’s a short summary of the inside the beltway culture of corruption and payoffs. Where do you think all the money to build those buildings in Tyson’s corner comes from and what do you think they do in those buildings. They sure as hell don’t get their hands dirty making military hardware.

In McClean VA. Intersection of the Beltway, I-66 and Route 123. Originally just some shopping malls. Now it is all high rise buildings to house beltway bandits. Your tax dollars at work. Oh, and the rot spreads all around the DC beltway and is reaching out into what was pristine VA and MD countryside.

Wow. Thank man. Did not know that.

Did this have anything to do with turning VA toss up?

I assume no because it doesn’t sound like enough folks to change an election, but since i didn’t even know about this in the first place i’d sooner not make any assumptions!!

Thanks again

And you know who is to blame for this - Bush and Cheney. DHS, the WOT and the Iraq War were yeehaw times here in DC. It must have added a couple of million folks to the metropolitan population. Helped buy everyone off to go along with all of that. That is why the DC suburbs are now among the wealthiest counties in the country. And love or hate government bureaucrats as you will, but it isn’t government payrolls and government salaries that expanded. It’s mostly “private” organizations that reaped the payola.

Sacrifice. Something the US military has shown,
time and time again, to be exceptual in
accomplishing. They will, without question,
adhere to their oath to defend the United States
and her constitution. Bring it on Donald. You
have a hell of a team backing you up. Every
Soldier knows sacrifice is not just with him,
the soldiers’ family accepts the hardships as well.
How can any wife or family member complain when
their loved one is sleeping in a foxhole 2000
miles fom home.
