Oh.... Yeah..... We already have the strongest military on the planet.

Can't wait to see disabled, elderly, and children living in the streets and eating out of garbage cans.

..... Just making America great....(sigh )

Of course it will. Every dollar that is removed from the Federal budget causes one more child to eat out of a garbage can.

Here we go again. We apparently must define success by the increases to the social services budget year after year, rather than by the increase the number of folks who are moved off of it and into a position of being self sustaining.

Conversely, Republicans think that every dollar spent by DoD, the largest and most wasteful of all government agencies, is well spent and that more is always needed. In any event, your Trumpenfuhrer's budget is dead on arrival and serves no purpose other than to show how little he actually cares about his base as they are the ones hurt most by his budget proposal.

More of your myopic, twisted BS, Finn. The Pentagon is as prolific as any other part of gov't when it comes to wasting money. Its also apparently lost on you that members of both parties scream like stuck pigs when it comes to closing a military base or cutting a military project that's financially beneficial to that congressperson's home district.

What's dead on arrival is your sense of reality.

As usual, you are woefully misinformed.

The U.S. military is good at fighting wars, but it sucks at managing money. Partly because of its convoluted bookkeeping systems, $8.5 trillion—yes, trillion—taxpayer dollars doled out by Congress since 1996 has never been accounted for.

Senior defense officials suppressed a study documenting $125 billion worth of administrative waste at the Pentagon out of fears that Congress would use its findings to cut the defense budget, the Washington Post reported late Monday.

Also, I'll happily bet you $100 that Trump's budget will not pass as written. I'll even go anywhere up to $10k on the bet. Put your money where your mouth is.

Nothing that you posted is at odds with what I've posted. Nothing.

Also, most budgets that Prezes submit are not "passed as written".

Got any original thoughts floating around in your head?

The goal would be the more people in the work force, the lower the wages and benefits. A win win for the 1%. Especially with AI taking over half the jobs.

American success is measured by how much money we pump into weapons of mass destruction around the world and at home. We spend more money on "defense" than every other country combined, yet the only freedoms we ever lose are by our own hand, by our own rulers. What a scam.

While other countries take care of their people, we push hate and war. What a great country huh?
