The government grows by the day, it never shrinks and to pay for all the new entitlements, this is where they cut.

Tell your kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews, cousins and neighbors to stay as far away as possible until a real American sits in the White House again, and no, that doesn’t include Hillary.

Once again Johnny One-Note; your comments are not germane to the subject at hand.

No actually, it is.

America is 17 trillion in debt, and growing.

We are sending American jobs, to foreign countries.

Bring them back.

As they say, our forefathers would have been shooting by now.

And, if this were Ancient Rome, the soldiers would quickly find a solution to the problem.

The benefits of the Military are being severely cut. We promise these benefits to the men and women who, in exchange, will lay down their life for this country. I am so ashamed this fraud has control of so much. Americans deserve better.

Hell that doesn’t include a damn demonrat! The institution they hate most, after the Constitution, is the military and the first place these @sshats look to cut is the military. Cut the funding, cut the troops, cut the equipment and cut the benefits. Funny though how obamaramadingdong always finds American taxpayer money to fund, equip and train the F’in muzzies that want to kill us.

That aside there's millions more Americans on food stamps to pay for now....and all those stupid green vehicles the military was forced to buy......and the added cost of medical and housing benefits for "married" homosexual couples in the military....

Besides, what have those military folks sacrificed lately?

You have NO IDEA how much things changed in the Army when President Reagan replaced President Carter, once he got the ball rolling. Night and day.

Cutting entitlements? Ha! Food stamp recipients have seen a 30% increase under obama. Oh, and we have more people than ever receiving food stamps - why not, they’re apparently a pretty good living now. FUBO

Actually I’m old enough to know exactly how bad every demonrat resident has butched the military from peanut on, having had freinds and family serving. Demonrats have no respect for our service men and women, only contempt.
