I think Ron Paul made really good points in the last big Republican debate. He got booed...but he said it right. How many times over do we really need to blow the world up? And why are we occupying over 200 countries around the world.
Also Newt Gingrich specifically said...and I quote: "I'm a hawk, but I'm a cheap hawk" During the debate he said that yes the military budget needs to be cut big time. Like with ALL govt. spending there is money being spent by the billions that does NOTHING for the "defense" of our country. And he said specifically that it needs to be cut.
Unfortunately the President doesn't decide the military budget.
As usual it's going to come from CONGRESS. And sorry BFT3K...it's going to come from BOTH sides. Just like always.
The Dems were in charge of Congress for decades and the military budget just kept going up and up and up.
Lot of money at stake. And every Congressman or Senator that has a military base or company that manufacturs for the military in their state will NEVER let the military budget get cut.
They are getting kickbacks and campaign money, etc.
Once again...if you really want to come on a message board and discuss "issues", it's important to remember that it's the CROOKS in Congress who are the problem.
The President doesn't have much to do with all the stuff that is being used (like this thread) to distract from what the crooked politicians are doing.
None of the people running for President will be able to decide the military budget. None of them will be able to tell people to believe evolution or the fairy tale bible. None of them will be able to decide the legality of Abortion or ANY law.
The Executive branch doesn't do any of that. It's the LEGISLATIVE branch full of CAREER POLITICIANS who pretty much are responsible 100% for fucking this country over and will continue to do so until we vote all of them out after one term.
