That is the problem. Without a doubt, when the left cuts the military budget, it affects our readiness. They put the nation in a weakened state which results in the next Republican president the task of rebuilding our military.
The double edged sword of that results in deficit spending that helps enable a win down the road for Democrats to again cut the military budget and weaken our defense. A never ending cycle of government mismanagement.
The next time a Republican administration is forced to increase the military budget, I’d like to see corresponding cuts in welfare transfer payments and complete dismantling of various government agencies so it results in real net cuts in overall spending.
Thanks. I appreciate the response. I agree with your take on it.
