Job creation Trump style...
 

A 10% increase in military spending.

"It will include an historic increase in defence spending to rebuild the depleted military of the United States of America at a time we most need it," he said.

So there you have it - the country with 3 x the spend of the second largest militery is going to spend a shit load more.

Quite why The Orange Baboon thinks that America is in great peril I am not sure.

Perhaps the Marines are going into the wall building business. Or maybe the Navy will be tasked with keeping those pesky muslims out.

Either way its jobs for the boys and profits for big business.

Who was it said that Hillary wanted to start WWIII ?

:thumbsup

He said this all campaign, why are people getting so agitated when he does what he said he would.

lol these people are 100% brainwashed by cnn :1orglaugh

Are you getting agitated ?

Chill.

:2 cents:

The United States has the strongest military in the world. Oh, you can argue and debate this until you are blue in the face but the truth the US military is the only military force in the world that has a blue water navy and the ability to project military power in every corner of the globe. The United States Navy has more aircraft carriers than all other countries combined, And the United States Navy is the only navy in the world that can send an aircraft carrier group around the world. (Russia recently sent it's only aircraft carrier to the MED and has to send a fucking tug boat along with it because it breaks down so often.)

Trump said what is by far the most insulting thing any politician has ever said about our military. This is what he said today:

The president continued, ?We have to win. We have to start winning wars again. I have to say, when I was young, in high school and college, everybody used to say we never lost a war. We never lost a war. You remember, some of you were right there with me, you remember, America never lost.?

POTUS then went on to claim that the military isn?t interested in winning a fight.

?We never win and we don?t fight to win,? he exclaimed. ?We don?t fight to win. We?ve either got to win or don?t fight it at all.?

(source)

Perhaps Trump failed to notice what our military has been doing for the past fifteen years. In 1991 we bitch smacked Saddam so hard that he was begging for mercy and agreed to our terms. After 9/11 we removed the Tailban from power in a matter of weeks with a small amount of forces. We went back to Iraq later on and in a matter of three weeks we destroyed both the Iraqi military and it's government.

What happened in the war with Iraq in 2003 is amazing. The United States has completely mapped out the entire Iraqi communication system, and in the opening strike completely destroyed the ability of the Iraqi military to communicate with itself. The very first strike, which Iraq never saw coming, more or less ended the war.

He claims that we have "lost in the Middle East" but that is surely not true from a military perspective. We've only gone to war with two countries in the Middle East, and we've destroyed both of them.

We have even won against ISIS, and done so without major risk to American forces. The United States is supporting the (new) Iraqi military while they are doing the fighting - ISIS is being defeated, and Americans are not losing lives. Win win.

I love our military and I would love to see the United States Marine Corps triple in size, but... At what cost? We can dump trillions of dollars into our military and at the end of the day we'll have the same exact thing we have now - the most powerful military in the world.

How is it insulting? He's right

They don't fight to win

Trump talked about increasing military spending, he did not actually do it.

Trump talked about expanding our military, he did not actually do it.

Trump talked about building a wall, there is no wall being built.

Trump talked about a muslim ban, there is no muslim ban or travel ban.

You redhats are real suckers. Actions speak louder than words. Common sense.

It's his 5th week on the job you imbecile :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Trump should have cut military spending $50 billion and spent that money on education and job stimulus tax policy.

Face it we are losing asynchronous warfare and having to retaliate at VERY high economic costs. Robotize the advance forces of the military -- killer robots cost a lot less than what it costs to attempt to protect human soldiers.
ISIS might be spending $50K/yr per terrorist -- if that ...

A robot might cost $200K ... So, what if a few get ''destroyed?''

so the newnik philosophy of public administration is that our military should degrade & not be prepared for when they will be needed again.

& given how the last liberal president let the military wither, took the word islamic terrorist out of the pentagon (LOL), did nothing himself to make the F35 program less corrupt over his 8 years...

liberals like newnik want our country to hold onto our ankles & bend over, do nothing until after one of obamas terrorists attacks. but maybe those terrorists are still busy humping their sex slaves 3 years in, that obamas dithering to ISIL let happen...

dumb libs. :1orglaugh

53,000,000,000/2,100,000
25,238
that is 2 or 3 new divisions

Or, will it all be spent on hardware to make the rich richer?

It's starting to look like his job building plan revolves heavily around government spending to create those jobs. Tax cuts for companies who stay here, spending on infrastructure (which we need badly and I agree with), spend a ton on the military (which I disagree with) etc. The government is going to hire a ton of people. Meanwhile they plan to cut taxes and still somehow are going to reduce the deficit.

I'm shocked they have discussed coming after legal weed because it sound a bit like they are smoking it.

It's scary how Americans view invasions as normal things and discuss the raising of the invasion budget like it's not 500 billion per year overinflated...This is going to end so bad for you because in the end you will force the little guys to resort to bacteria...The world will never listen to you because you suck dick...For real LOL...It's not the 14th century any more, you killed most of the injun's why not enjoy your great country and stay the fuck at home?...You will not win ever it does not matter if your army wins you still suck dick and we do not want to listen to you LOL

So we are going to make government bigger - great - just what we needed - another fucking socialist in the white house

Only way to cut taxes and reduce the deficit is to remove things like social security and medicare

When did the US last lose a war Johnn-boi ?

Serious question ?

When do you think you are going to need an enormous military Josh BB ? Who exactly is the enemy you want to fight ?

The US all ready spends 3 x more than any other nation on earth.


This is not job creation by stimulating the economy to be sharp and productive.

This is not job creation by putting the tools and resources into the hands of the smart entrepreneurial hard working business owners and ambitious young people.

This is not job creation by putting light touch regulatory frameworks into place.

This is not job creation by establishing a fast fluid meritocracy where it pays to be a risk taker, and it pays to be hire more people.


This is job creation by expanding the government.

This is job creation by convincing the populace that the country is weak and that there are enemies all around to be frightened of.


WTF is Trump talking about when he says America loses wars because the military is under-funded ?

:2 cents:

Expanding the military aka means buying more hardware and putting more money in the military complex's pockets
