It doesn't work like thatOur military is bigger than the next eight nations combined. We spend 42 cents out of every defense dollar on earthAside from our military, which has already been slashed to a dangerous level. There is not an agency in the Federal government which cannot provide the same or better service with a 20% cut in their funding, some much more or eliminated.
Any one of them will scream and cry bloody murder when it is THEIR ox being gored, THEIR KINGDOM!
Personally, I would be ecstatic if we adopted zero-based budgeting as opposed to our pathetic baseline budgeting which ASSUMES that every agencies budget MUST increase each year. Just insane.
How can we possibly cut into our debt when every budget, MUST BY LAW, increase each year?
President Donald Trump, giving agonizing heartburn to Progressives and Democrats by DOING EXACTLY WHAT HE PROMISED!
Cheers!
Where is our threat?
Stand behind the gun ... then, you'll know where the threat is.
You build your military to counter the existing threat. Which country is a threat to our military?
