The Republicans really need to get their financial message in order.

Huh? Defense spending is about 19% of the budget.
Behind both Social Security and Medicare/Medicad.

And its part of the budget that actually will DECREASE in real dollars and as a percentage
in futre proposed budgets. SS and Medicare/Medicad
are ENTITILMENTS and have gone up EVERY year in real dollars and as a percentage of the budget.

Have NO PROBLEM with 1 on 5 of my tax dollars going for defense in this country. And much of the DOD budget goes to salaries and pensions BTW

Don't see how it's hypocritical at all. Republicans have aleays been pro defense and we
can get our fiscal house in order w/out gutting the DOD.
