There’s $57 billion...BILLION stuck in the DoD budget for Foreign Aid. WTF???

That $57B could be used...no SHOULD be used for the soldiers.

We’re closing the OR at Landstuhl Army Hospital every Friday because of the sequester...soldiers that need surgery can’t get it if it’s Friday...but we can sneak foreign aid money into our budget?

Here’s a novel idea...quit baselining the stimulus money into the budget every year. Yup that one time need it today to save the country bit of pork that was supposed to provide “shovel ready jobs” is now a part of every FY budget proposed. Right there is a great way to cut wasteful spending from the budget...but you know that slush fund to the Dem machine won’t ever get cut off now that it’s been started.

Instead we’re gonna tell the military to BOHICA.

Actually, its far worse than that TX.

There not a govt. budget anywhere that doesn't have at least 20-30% fat that could be trimmed quite easily. But, that's not the agenda of the hard/far left.

They want to go/cut right to the bone. Right to the necessary items so they can bad/pr us one more time using the DBM.

I can just hear it now.

Well you Republicans demanded budget cuts so we are giving them to you. With never a mention that the sequester was their idea to begin with and that they are cutting all the wrong budget items.

They know how to cut budgets. But communism tells them not to do it that way its not their agenda.

Remember if your agenda is to destroy the country you cut key items that people need exactly the way they are doing. Then you lie about what you are doing.

That's what is going on. Our problem is we have no leadership no one to stand up on a national podium and yell to every that we are all being screwed by the commies in office.

If you go back to the era in which Cheney was SecDef, and study the increased budgets from when he made “peace dividend” cuts coming forward, you will see that the increases are largely about garbage like “foreign aid” money. Even the big ticket items like the F-35 don’t hit the budget as hard as the garbage does. And you talk about administratively TOP HEAVY...!

The ratio is tail-to-tooth when it should be tooth-to-tail.

(The last Cheney DOD budget was probably $295 billion.)
