re: More Military Expansion---will we EVER quit spending too much??--Space Force

Have you been this ignorant your whole life, or is this a newly acquired trait?

You are the type that feels that, if you have an ample supply of crossbows then there is no need for rifles.

In today's world it is not enough to keep up with those who wish to do you harm....you have to think and plan two steps ahead.

This should be the logo for the US Space Force.

We need to bring back Senator Proxmire's Golden Fleece Awards.

Donald Trump has managed, in just shy of 24 months, to end 38 years of GOP worship of Ronald Reagan clap trap. Trump has put the lie to conservative ideology and I for one say good riddance to bad rubbish. None of the conservatives who whined about spending ever meant a word of it....look at how they all increased spending. Finally the base of the GOP is on board with increasing public spending and doing it on credit cards the way it ought to be done. So now both sides of the aisle openly understand that the only way to prosperity is increased taxation (tariffs), frick the free market with protectionism and increasing government spending! We are on the path to heights of greatness we never dreamt possible if we can only keep the damned libertarians (the free market doesn’t need tariffs or protectionism) and the few Reagan Conservatives left with their hand wringing “what about the debt” from somehow duping the smart GOP base....also known as the Trump supporters, from buying into all of that “ spending and debt is bad” horse shite we will be greater than ever.

The only path to wealth and opulence without years and years of sweat and back breaking toil is borrowing and spending. Trump understands this from his days in the real estate development bidness. The Base of the GOP is now on board with borrowing and spending and the Democrats have always been on board with borrowing and spending. That leaves about 20% of the nation who have been hit over the head with conservative ideas so hard and so often that they will never get right...bless their hearts...that’s ok...as long as 80% of the country understands that debt and spending is the path to wealth we’ll be OK....we can harbor a misguided 20%... I think y’all call them RINOs?

Great to check in and see the trumpers know space force is fairly indefensible, so they just play along with the joke of this presidency

I’d rather cut the handouts than the military, and the military spends its money on some dumb shite too, but the handouts account for 60% of all government spending while the military is at like 16%

We should have created a space force a decade ago. We could always drop the army..

Well, at least this wasn't a tariff screaming thread.

There are old timers that still bemoan the separation of the Air Force from the Army.

Damn straight. If Air Force and Army played football together like Marines and Navy do, then they'd have a better chance to win.

Do you really need to be spending money on another branch of the military?

Military spending is for the greater good. We could pay for it by cancelling all welfare programs.

Absolutely no taxpayer money should go to any individual. Except maybe FEMA money after a disaster. But all forms of EBT, housing, Obamaphone etc should be illegal.

Think of the roads, bridges and schools we could have if we just quit giving money to worthless lazy fricksticks?

Get a job and stay off my lawn.
