1. liberals who think bloat in the military is unique to the military and not systemic in the govt on the whole display their gross ignorant.



It's not unique but it epitomizes government bloat and Republican hypocrisy. You can't talk fiscal responsibility and then increase the largest budget.

3. Total military spending could be reduced to zero and it would not pay for the NEW ideas Democrats have for spending.



Imagine if we actually cut every single liberal program from the budget. What do you think happens next? Hint: the military will get more money.

The only way we're getting to better fiscal responsibility is if we actually have a bipartisan way to legislate it. It's going to be exploited otherwise. It's not hard to see.

You think we are blaming only the democrats, most of us in this thread put the blame at both parties, but before fixing the problem, you need to understand the problem.

You do realize the military budget isn't the Fed's largest budget, right?

It's the largest of the DISCRETIONARY spending.
