Senate approves $80 Billion more for Military; More than cost of making public colleges tuition free

[DEAD7]

what's so silly about it? the premise is very straight forward.

you "libertarians" (and I use that term loosely because no one is a real libertarian) hate good ideas that benefit society.

Military spending and social programs are two completely different animals.

no it's not. funding is funding...yes, we may have different buckets for different items, but it's all coming from the taxpayer. Discretionary vs mandatory spending is just our arbitrary way of splitting the buckets.

Protecting American "interests" isn't cheap. And you don't need a degree to drive Uber and nor work fullfillment jobs at Amazon anyway, right

This is ludicrous man.

Republican policy at it's finest :cacdevil:

Wasting billions of dollars, that would be better used domestically, on what is already the most expensive military in history.

While true, most Democrats went along with this as well.

 

[ORDER_66]

80 Billion?!?!!? this country is a bunch of bullshyt.

That's the third way line of thinking that literally lets jingoists frame the debate lest [Democrats] be seen as unpatriotic.

People need to stop paying taxes immediately. This is beyond disgraceful.

some silly argument that if everyone has access to a bachelors then it won't have the same value it has now. i guess that's a "good" argument against all education. if only a select few have a high school diploma then those in society with a high school diploma can make bank.

I swear America is fukking retarded.

you're the silly one, those are not even animals
though if they could be animals....I think social programs would be a hippopotamus, it's possible that military spending could be a hippopotamus too...not sure about that one, but it's plausible...what do you think?
