and you'll probably find it was another planted leftist Democrat like the one that was pictured holding the racist sign in Texas. It's pretty routine to find leftists doing it at Tea party rallies.

In this particular case? Not sure, but take it with a grain of salt.

IMO, military should be gutted.

Problem is, it's basically become a huge jobs program so it'll never be cut.

Don't use facts with him he only spouts BS that he can't back up and will just run away like a coward.

pelosi is a piece of shit, the idea that there is nothing to cut is BS. Cut the salaries of all of them along with many of the bureaucrats. Abolish the DHS and Department of Education and there are billions in cuts.

Both DoD and DoHS make up more than 1/4 of that budget chart.

Guess which department was created shortly after 2001, and expressly because of a "war that was defined to have no end"?

DoD and DoHS and whatever you want to include as "war(s)" do not consume the $1.9 Trillion USD increase from 2001 to present time. You know there are other slides in the pie, right?

As a matter of fact, you can cut down to zero the Defense Department (and everything in it) plus everything else and leave the entitlement programs (SS, Medicare/aid, Welfare/other mandate progams) alone uncheck, we still be in deep doodoo financially.

Now I am NOT saying DoD/other war on terror related entities is not a financial drain but to blame it for the whole 1.9 Trillion USD increase is not correct.

Further right than every other first world country's conservatives. That is why Obama continues Bush's policies and used the hertiage foundation's healthcare bill.

Where do you get this nonsense? Seriously, How are the democrats right wing? They are leftists with some moderates and many extreme leftists.

Wasn't half of the sequester military spending?

And who threw a bigger fit about the sequester? Democrats or Republicans? :hmm:

The sequester was pennies... and besides, the sequester was only needed because the republicans didn't want to pay for what they voted for. They caused 100% of the tantrum.

I can't think of a single leftist thing pushed in the last 20 years... that is where they are in context of the first world countries. That is the funny thing. you loonies are so backwards that even middle/right parties that follow your own policies and legislate from YOUR own think tanks aren't good just because they are the other "team." Pathetic and ignorant.

Well shadow9d9, this proves it, Incorruptible vehemently disagrees with you, you must be completely correct then. (except for some minor spelling and grammar issues)

Sorry the Republicans wanted to cut government spending and used the debt ceiling to get it.

Isn't funny though that Obama and the Democrats threw a tantrum when a cut of "pennies" went through?:D

Oh no they may shut down government! The sky is falling!


Not really but they'd like you to think that. A shutdown would be welcome IMO and for all I care they can stay shut down. That'll cut the budget :D

He's left of the most rabid Marxist. He's been spouting this same nonsense forever but nobody has been listening until recently. Why people even waste their time arguing with him is a mystery to me.

This is not just some person out in left field, this is the moron that the democrats continue to have as their leader. She has legions of terminally stupid supporters who believe this same tripe, with a willing accomplice in the media to not call her out on her repeated stupidity.



Agreed, no part of the budget should be above scrutiny. Cuts need to be made everywhere, and the military should not be a sacred cow.

Better yet how about we start with the NSA funding she voted for and lobbied to protect. LOL

Yes, Dems are obviously *Leftists!", calling for revolution, abolishment of private property, religion, & collectivization in a classless state, right?

They also hate your Freedumbs! & make the baby Jesus cry, too.

Basically, you apply the term "Leftist" to anybody not to the right of your own political beliefs, w/o regard to the fact that *you* are the extremist, with very, very few people to the right of you at all, if any.
