The military at most counts for 20% of the entire Federal budget...yet we’re having to take nearly 50% of all cuts under the sequester. And NONE of the true money wasting projects are even touched!

This is the problem in a nutshell. It’s not that there aren’t billions that COULD be cut from the DOD budget. But this is the money that is politically protected.

Instead, they stick it to the fighting force.

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.
