They postponed Truman deployment to the Persian Gulf yesterday. Money is tight!

Yet somehow the Navy found money to purchase breathalyzers (oops. I mean "alcohol detection devices") for every command as well as the training on how to properly use them.

Yep! Gotta love Obama's Navy! No money for fuel but you'd better be sober when you cross the quarterdeck or you'll be packing your bags for civilian life.

We’ve got money for a $110 million dollar embassy in Suriname and another $100 mil for an aquarium in Brazil. We’ve also got money to erect windmills all over the damn place.

Just to be clear a Refueling and Complex Overhaul (RCOH) for a Nuclear-powered carrier is a 3 billion dollar, 3-year long process. It isn't buying some fuel and pouring it in a tank.

The military also has money for benefits for homosexual partners of military members. Hell, why don’t they paint the ships pink and call them U.S.S. Loveboat.
