“A domestic peace force just as big and well-funded as the US military...”

That means TWO things:

1. Boost spending on new, weird types of goons

2. Radically cut-back military spending

His plan is the have a new entity that goes around suppressing the US populace —a non-stop SWATting of the whole USA.

More than half of active duty forces and retired military live between Tidewater, Va., and East Texas, he said, where actual commissary savings are “much lower than the published national average. I have maintained that position personally since I was the director. Publicly, I stuck with the party line. In retrospect, that may have been a mistake.”

It's called lying, sarge and it's always wrong.

They demand that the soldiers who give so much to defend America bend over and get the shaft, but when it come to the post office we are all supposed to bend over and take it up the *$$ for their incompetence and just keep feeding them more of our money!

The commissary and PX system will be gone within 10 years or sooner if the Obama Administration can manage. Replacing them will be Walmart or some other big box discounter who will operate franchises on military installations in much the same way that Burger King operates today.

Savings will be very similar to that seen at the local Walmart, but the selection, service, and conveniences will be less.

still waiting for that case load sale that never was because of the petulant little arrogant dictator....

commissaires do not offer "hefty" savings, not when you consider the 5% and the tipping...not when you take into account that people off base have to travel some good distances to get there...

but they do offer good savings is you're careful....

back when hubby was "in" the area had coupon wars with two different chains offering double and triple coupon savings....it beat the commissary in a heartbeat....

Which is it? Do they make a profit, or are they taxpayer subsidized?

DeCA’s annual appropriation of $1.4 billion

The role of the dice is not just on whether the commissaries will survive, it’s whether the entire system can survive,” including exchanges and the on-base quality-of-life programs that exchange profits now support.

.........I think about leaders like Obama, Hagel, Biden, Pelosi and Reid and then in the same thoughts I remember the final picture of Mussolini and his wife and Hitler’s and Ava’s corpses and the Japs we hung and most recently Hussein.

Two thoughts:

1. Were Hussein, Hitler, Mussolini and the Japs bigger enemies of the American people than Obama, Hagel, Biden, Pelosi, Reid and others are proving to be? You be the judge.

2. “Every dog has his day”.

There have always been items that you could purchase for less other places. Since the prices have climbed at the Commissary, most of the time it is not worth the trip. I only go there about twice a year if I am in the area.

The produce almost always looked like warehouse leftovers. I told my husband for years that I thought the buyers were getting kickbacks for buying premium goods but getting the old stuff and seconds. The MacDill AFB store was always so busy there is no way that produce would be spoiled from sitting out too long. You could see them taking poor quality produce right out of the box.

Up until the a couple of years ago, I continued to purchase meat there because it was good quality at a good price. That changed too and the quality took a big turn for the worst within the last 5-0 years, while the prices continued to climb. I get better quality meat at Sam's Club and do most of my other shopping at Aldi. I have found that the Aldi brand groceries that I purchase are good or better than name brands most of the time.

The base exchange was rarely a good place to shop to save money.

No doubt in my mind that the commissary is rife with fraud and employees are less likely to be held accountable.

They always go after the individual low ranking military member or after the veteran or the retiree.

And they pay these kids so little already that they are on food stamps. Now, even their food stamps won’t go as far at a military commissary of all place.

Better to have ObamaPhones at 2 billion a year than to take care of our troops.
