Honestly can't believe the GOP just let him use their website for his retarded vendetta. As if their reputation hasn't been fucked enough already. They basically just gave themselves over to the village idiot.

This is what cuckery actually looks like.

exactly, and since I seriously doubt that the US will cut their military budget by enough, the cuts will have to come from areas where they really hurt.

you have to keep in mind that the US already have a much smaller welfare state than us europeans. here in germany, government spending is indeed way out of hand and there is a lot of unnecessary bulk to cut down. but in the US? not so much (outside of the military) if you ask me.


oh god, dont even get me started on that, ~half of our total budget is already going in there and the expenses are going through the roof....

its true, i remember the federal budget plan being posted here and there were only a few minor things that you could get rid of
and then the 600 billion bill hits you in the face

for me its easily possible to cut that in half, but then you couldnt mess around in afghanistan, iraq, syria etc etc anymore

would be a tragedy, wouldnt it

well, you have to keep in mind that all the military spending is also a form of job program, particularly for the uneducated folks. several million american families depend on military jobs, with many of them having rather grim job prospects on the regular job market. in the same mold, a lot of the military spending is actually research funding in disguise.

so yes, the US military budget absolutely is overinflated, and significant cuts could be made without big consequences (except for the profits of the military-industrial complex). but cutting the military budget by one third or even by half? that wouldnt be possible without causing a surge in unemployment, poverty and a reduction of the pace at which new technologies are rolled out.

i thought as much as well, however even with my very limited military experience i know how expensive maintenance is

the oversized navy and their aircraft supercarriers as well as aircraft systems all over the world, thats whats really breaking the bank here

if you make a decent plan to phase out certain operations and weapons systems, redistribute personnel for other productive things (there are plenty), stop replacing retired soldiers and more i think you can do it
research and development can remain untouched as far as i am concerned

of course the military industry will have to settle with less orders and money and the state would need some creativity to deal with the situation

not gonna happen anyway, but the us certainly cant continue like this in the long run

Operations. Also known as management salaries and entire administrative departments who do about an hour of productive work a year.

More on the FISA abuses:
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/01/18/gop-lawmakers-demand-alarming-memo-on-fisa-abuses-be-made-public.html

It looks like now that they've gotten the renewals they wanted, the nature and details of thoses wiretaps might be made at least somewhat public in coming days. This could be a bombshell or a dud when it comes out
