military budgeting considerations

'A' food stamp recipient? As in "one". Try to be honest.

Irrelevant to my point, you pick at nits to avoid the comparison.

There ain't no bigger waster and fraudster than the US defense department. Ain't no amount of soda that'll change that.

Why you doin'this one Rajk? Milirary budgets? I mean, how do we know!!?!?!???!?!??!!?
This guy at the corner is told,,,,,,'this thermos bottle thing, , it keep cold things cold, and it keep hot things hot!!""
The guy at the corner, thinks a moment.........................
🤔 🤔 ..................

He say,,,,,,,"How do it know"?

Same applies to these military experts. If Trump hits an aspirin factory (like Cllinton certainly did) how do your debate mates not know that there was a uranium enrichment lab in the building 22 feet away?? Gotta get that pesky uranium.

Debate mates wrong, Trump right. Carry on...I know nothing about military as y'all obviously do.

Then make the proper comparison.

Eg. Get total wastage in other govt depts and
compare with wastage in the military.

Military more, other departments less. I've provided numbers all throughout this thread.

I don’t think we have enough defense. So do a lot of people that know more about this subject than you do.

Money spent on defense in a world that hates you is money well spent, especially when they have already infiltrated and killed thousands of Americans.

Money spent to feed a bunch of fat lazy bums, most of whom are illegals, is wasted and should be stopped.

Didn't you hear? It's called the 'Department of War' now; not defense. All thanks to our Child-molester and murdering thief in the Whitehouse.

1-2-3.... Smaller than average joe where are you?? 😆

Well, we know that more money for defense equals more crab legs, not more defense.

A lot of people who know more than me think that the defense budget is bloated. Most of the people who want more money for defense are the folks that are collecting the payments.

It sure didn't take long for Trump to realize that peace was bad for business, eh?

Silly boy. You assume that if someone might profit from defense spending, the policy itself must be unjustified.

Every large budget has waste, but that doesn’t make the purpose of the budget illegitimate. It is not a perfect recipe.
If the existence of profit proves a policy is wrong, then we’d have to shut down hospitals and universities !
You have TDS, and you know nothing of budgeting . And we don’t ask for people to make bombs without their getting paid.

Really silly little fellow.

The existence of profit is fine. But if someone stands to profit from a decision, then they have a conflict of interest that should be disclosed prior to providing an opinion.

The most credible opinions on military funding levels are that current funding is way too high. Anecdotally, you can see where they spend $93 billion on expensive furniture and luxury food items, it is obvious to anyone that they don't need to spend that money on actual defense. These are people who already receive full salary for their work in the Pentagon we don't need taxpayers also paying for them to eat caviar and ribeye steak for lunch.

Of course conflicts are not acceptable, no matter how they handle it. You know that right now things are under the way to keep people loke Pelosi from underhanded stock purchywith inside information. She is a great example of the sleaze. This case is not a whole lot different.
Your last paragraph, no argument from me you’re totally right. Perks should be only for Security. They can buy their own lunch. Why should employees get free lunches? Mine don’t. And if the government is paying for their travel, they have an option to upgrade at their own expense to first class.

Here is an idea. Let us use the money that was set aside for the tuition loan payments and use that money to build more missles. Then we will not have to get money from another source to fund defense. That 670 billion is still sitting there thanks to Scotus, and the pressures of Trump.

You mean the 1 or 2 ribeye steaks the poor guys risking their lives ate?

Lol. Maybe they're stuffing the steaks inside the missiles.

Risking their lives? They're in an air conditioned office in the Pentagon eating hundred of dollars worth of taxpayer funded donuts.

I think they would just buy more lobster tails.

Unreal that you stake your position that the government would find better uses for the $670 billion instead of the people.

They bought millions in luxury furniture for the Pentagon. Yikes.

Most Americans prefer to feed the armed forces, than feed a bunch of Somalians and Muslims who enter the US to rob, rape, steal and kill.
