While I’m thankful our military is adequately funded, there is a “game” being played here.
When was the last time congress passed a budget?
Why are we borrowing money at interest from say, China, to give it to Italy? How does that make any sense? The national government is in debt to the tune of $21 Trillion dollars, with at least triple that in unfunded liabilities. If you’re wondering what the unfunded liabilities are, they mean YOU.
People are sick of foreign deployments and/or wars that go on and on and on seemingly indefinitely. What happened to the 4 Year Rule? Why are we defending the border in say, South Korea, but we won’t defend the American border? That’s insanity. You’ll hear politicians talk about how “we can’t disengage and become isolationist”; nobody is suggesting that we disengage. They are ever offering us a false choice. Endless entanglements, with no end in sight, with no purpose that anyone can divine spending blood and treasure, while other politicians claim what we really need to do is get rid of our southern border altogether. And the Democrats seem to want to campaign on getting rid of the Border and Customs division.
So huge expenditures for “homeland security” but the border is wide open. Clinton was REJECTED because of shit just like this. Good thing Republicans hold both houses of congress otherwise stuff like “Planned Parenthood” would be fully funded, so-called “Sanctuary Cities” and another bailout of Obiecare would be jammed down the taxpayers throat.
Got that right FRiend.
Deserves a repeat.
People are sick of foreign deployments and/or wars that go on and on and on seemingly indefinitely.
This is a 6 month spending bill and there’s 1.3 billion allocated to the border wall.
The people whining because the entire wall won’t be built in 6 months are not right in the head.
I find it hard to believe that they will have time to spend 1.3 billion. It sure as hell is a lot more than was ever spent in the past.
