i thought cutting was the goal?

[Danzig]

aren't we supposed to be trying to lower spending?

the 2012 military budget was passed, 336-87. 649 billion for fiscal 2012, up 2.7% from '11.
included: 119 billion for wars in iraq and afganistan (thought we were done in iraq, how odd), funding for a c-17 cargo plane that the air force does NOT want.

and the oh-so important 320 million to fund those military bands...because when i think strength, and needed defense, i think of trombones and tubas.
a new destroyer, 32 f-35sm 32 v-tols, 48 unmanned drones, 28 super hornets, 35 ospreys, two satellites, tanks, etc, etc, etc.


yep, they're right on target in d.c.


oh..and the bill to slow the rate of growth by only 1.3% instead of the end result above, of course that failed.
