Think about what this decision by our Congress and Obama means.
I understand your passion and anguish. Yet it reminds me a little bit of every “conservative” congressman’s anguish when their own particular earmark is voted down. There has to be a point where the spending stops.
Democrats know from history that Republicans Always cave. They know that as an article of their faith. We always have caved. They scheme and “negotiate” based on that assumption.
I pray that this time the Republican Congress holds the line. It will not be the end of the Department of Defense. It may encourage more politicians to be more fiscally frugal.
