U.S. military spending 2000-2017 | Statistic

Trends in U.S. Military Spending

Same basic data...

View attachment 225300

The big question is

Why haven’t we returned to pre-war 2000 military spending levels??

Because we are still fighting at least one of those wars and still paying for the second.

We have no combat troops in either theater

Yet Republicans insist on funding like we do

We have no combat troops in Afghanistan?

You willing to make a bet on that?

We once had over 100,000 troops in Afghanistan, we now have fewer than 10,000

Why don’t we have a lower military budget?

1. China
2. Foreign invaders are attacking our borders
3. Islamic Terrorism

which democrats today would say (or believe) what Kennedy said?

second question: which democrats of today would green light Hiroshima and Nagasaki like Truman did?

Already answered

EVERY Democrat would say the same thing

Republicans would say.......Ask not what the wealthy can do for you, but what YOU can do for the wealthy

bullshit. go back to sleep winger, you had too much cheap vodka last night, none of your brain cells are functioning.

What have Republicans ever done to make the country better?
All they do is find ways to enrich the wealthy

does cutting taxes for everyone that pays taxes make them better off? Does creating millions of jobs make them better off?

your tired talking points just prove that you are incapable of actually thinking, you are a braindead sheep.

Trump is not pushing for spending less on our military, he is pushing for spending more and more.

spending is necessary to bring it back after Obama decimated it. We need a strong military, plus military spending creates American jobs, who do you think builds planes, ships,, tanks, guns, ammo, uniforms, boots, rations, etc? American blue collar workers, that's who. That money stays in this country and helps our economy and our people.

You keep saying that

Can you show how Obama decimated the military?

its very simple, look at military spending during the Obama 8 years, and compare those numbers to bush's years or Trumps.

Thousands of marines applied for whitehouse duty under Trump, they had to be assigned under Obama. I think that says a lot.

We were at war in both Iraq and Afghanistan when Obama took office. You would expect military spending to decrease as we withdrew our troops

Congress invoked a ten percent sequester on all spending. How is that Obama’s fault?

The larger question is....how large a military do we need?

we need a large enough military the preclude any other country for group from ever thinking they can fuck with us.

We need to remember the lessons of pearl harbor and 9/11, Weakness invites aggression.

right or wrong, presidents get credit or blame for what happens during their terms.

The strongest military in the history of mankind did not prevent 9-11. Throwing more money at it will not help

Attacking Afghanistan and Iraq have not made us safer either

Bush did not get blamed for 9-11
He should have

How did that make our country better?
Creating $1.5 trillion debt to give to billionaires does not make our nation better

What have Republicans ever done for our country that does not involve giving more money to those who do not need it?

China is no threat to us. They can’t even invade Taiwan

Those invaders are working low wage jobs to enrich the Capitalists. Why doesn’t our military go after the Capitalists

Only a tiny percentage of our military budget is dedicated to fighting terrorism. Are terrorists afraid of a nuclear submarine or nuclear weapon?

In reality 9/11 happened because Clinton did not allow our intelligence agencies to exchange information and because immigration under Clinton did not stop the illegal entry of the Saudi terrorists.

the 9/11 attackers were funded and trained by the Taliban in Afghanistan, who do you think we should have retaliated against?

There is a limit as to how much money is needed for our military, we agree on that, but you have yet to tell me what you would cut. How about cutting waste and corruption in all agencies of government? How about letting the DOJ so its job and prosecute the criminals walking the halls of congress? How about stopping lobbyists from funding campaigns? There are lots of ways to cut government spending, but why do libs always attack the military first? Could it be because most military members vote conservative and republican?

OK, lets go slow. taxes were cut for every American that pays taxes, not just the rich. A growing economy creates jobs and increases the 401K accounts of working americans.

Your "evil rich" mantra is bullshit. But since you brought it up, how about the Hollywood rich liberals, what have they done for the country except make themselves richer and corrupt our youth with the garbage that they put out as "entertainment" ?

85 percent of the tax cut went to the wealthy

 

[doesanyoneknowmyname]

The same question could be asked of any Repub, you included?

What have you done for your country?

Served in its armed forces and paid taxes for forty plus years.

lots of dems served and paid taxes, too.

and lots of conservative republicans did NOT serve....like limbaugh...


has trump paid any taxes?

so...by "served" you mean I hired you to protect me from foreign enemies and educated you and paid you real well and now you get a big retirement from my taxes?.....and the VA..?...Well....you are welcome...

I guess this is a form of socialism that you like....
