Who do you think keeps us on the offensive? There's absolute psychos in the Pentagon that keep that policy forward and that moves towards the contractors and congress that authorize and build this system. To move toward a more defensive stance we need leadership that'll walk in that building and change the way things are done. It will probably be the hardest fight next to health care.
I basically already said nevermind but thanks anyway. lol
No it doesn't, the poll info I posted had Dems in the high 50 percentile for reduction. Congress is way off that.
On top of that if you are manager and you have a person/department spending a budget inefficiently is it logical to give them more $? Of course not, but some people want to twist themselves in a pretzel trying to justify it. lol
I agree, but fixing our disposition toward aggression doesn’t equate to spending alone. We could cut our military budget in half, there would be people looking to find countries to intervene in...including progressives who conveniently like to think all of their intervention causes are justified.
How many Dems are protesting to lower military budget or calling their representatives about it. If 50%+ felt strongly a higher percentage would vote against.
This poll says only 31% of Dems want to decrease spending
Where would I get that information? I posted a poll showing people's thoughts and feelings on the subject. Why isn't that not good enough?
Well mostly the spending cuts are so they can go toward domestic policy. Warren uses this method in her health care budget. And there will always be intervention. The Cia exists and we will maintain based all over the world regardless who is president. I don't know which true progressives are clamoring for military intervention but I get your point.
i hope to fukkin christ that bernie or biden or whoever just wins it outright
Oh is that what we do tie everything to inflation? No we don't, so why does the military have to be?This poll says only 31% of Dems want to decrease spending
How Republicans and Democrats View Federal Spending
and like breh said, the increase to the budget was basically any increase you’d give something to keep with inflation and rising costs, so it was effectively the same
im getting a bad feeling about this primary
theres so many goddamn candidates sucking votes away that it could be a disaster if delegates have to choose the nominee
Keep the same means relative annual increases. Please don’t be that guy. When you get a small annual increase to your pay due to inflation, that’s basically the same pay, it’s not a substantial increase. No budget stays flat when it covers things that will cost more in the upcoming year. So the plurality are for keeping it the same or increasing, not decreasing as you were trying to make it out to be
Imagine if super delegates give it to bloomberg over bernie
