Point of clarification: for 1st qtr, is it $22 Billion, $45 Billion or $85 Billion? I heard all 3 numbers used in as many or more articles, and am totally confused.
Is there an accurate number we’re actually dealing with? Or are these just more 0scumbag/DoD/White Hut-Crib accounting tricks to confuse us all?
I’d just seen pics 6 carriers sitting idle in a port for refueling/refurb etc. Would the US Navy really put 6 carriers that close in a port, in case of an attack or terrorism? Just wondering.... (no military exp, so I don’t know.)
Is that what we’re truly down to: one carrier left in the ME’s Strait of Hormuz and the rest of the world? Holy Carp if we are!
Pretty sure it's 85 B for the year... 1.2 T over 10 years.
Obama is corruptly giving money to things he wants to grow, and taking it from things that don’t make his cronies rich.
At some point the government should be cut back to constitutional functions: Eliminate departments of Agriculture, Labor, Education, HUD, Health and Human Services as a start. Certainly the Framers were familiar with the concepts of Agriculture, Labor, Education, Housing, Health, and gave the federal government no enumerated powers in those fields.
If the people wanted such powers and roles they could either have states perform them, or recommend their representatives amend the constitution to add those powers.
