Republicans shouldn't be allowed to complain about wasteful spending

So I guess Trump wants to increase our military budget. Can someone tell me how almost almost $600 billion isn't enough? We're not even in a war!

To quote Robert Fulgham:

It will be a great day when our schools have all the money they need, and our air force has to have a bake-sale to buy a bomber.

A lot of the stuff he does is to keep his base and the other republicans happy. Me, I wish we could be more like the rest of the world and cut %50 of our military spending and use that money in ways that directly help the people. Although the military industrial complex keeps countless people employed making military equipment that we often don't use. This is one reason why military spending isn't cut.

You can bet all the republicans and many of the democrats are funded by defense contractors.

The discussion in the media here is that it's an easy way to create jobs without having to make too much effort.

Oh, no.  The WLB just figured out that health care was complicated.  That dipshit needs simple concepts.... like "Boom."
