The Dem's have an extraordinary record of gutting National Security efforts. Records of their votes are all one needs to make this opinion. You don't need to look very far to see they refuse or try to block these programs every chance they get. We are currently playing catch-up for their total disreguard of the Nations security and defense since the days of Carter and thru the mistakes of Slick Willy.

We are slowly makinfg in-roads due to the fact of majorities in both houses of congress. Amazing as it seems it takes twice as long to get back what these Doves deprived us of years ago.

After the fall of the Soviet Empire they convinced the American people we didn't need to spend money protecting ourselves, and most swallowed it hook, line, and sinker. We had to learn the hard way they only had their own special interest in mind. To them money saved from Defense and Intelligence gave them the money for special interest pork barreling. There are Republicans guilty of this too. Unfortunately greed is one human trait we will combat as long as humans exist.

Exactly. The liberals have too many black marks on their record to contend with so in order to deal with their crisis they attempt to erase the past with this crap. They are absolute correct, the bill sucks, but their intention was to hide a sordid past and they have succeeded to some extent there.
