The SIZE of the military budget MUST be shown in order to put this in perspective.
Who here couldn’t cut ONE PERCENT from their expenses without facing dire financial consequences?
I think we’d all keep our houses.
This from a dept that couldn’t account for 5 trillion in spending some years back.
Also...Maybe an opportunity for young people to work as apprentices.
Of course, I don't know how Unions would feel about any of this.
Guam,the UK, and Gitmo I can understand, but these other places? Why are we footing the bill to build in those countries?
NEW facilities...the kiddos can attend their existing schools for a few years. $13B is a lot of schools...
Pentagon to Congress: Do your job and protect the border legislatively, or we will do it through military funding administratively.
We can add to this the $535 Million dollars we will get when Solyndra pays back its ‘Obamaloan.’
Whats the song in Les Miseerables where the saloon owner sings about a little money here and a little money there?
When I was an Army brat, the military created schools for us wherever they could. The accommodations could be pretty spartan at times.
I spent half of the fifth grade and my whole sixth grade year attending classes at a repurposed training facility with WWII era Quonset huts for classrooms.
The kids will be just fine without sparkly new buildings.
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.
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.
