Zone1 military spending on longlasting/endless wars while people suffer cripplingly high food and gas prices : should we just vote no to all that?

[Harpy Eagle]

A balanced budget is not possible unless everyone shares the pain

Otherwise we will just keep running up the debt

And it will be your fault

And everyone will share the pain by fixing the SS tax so that it covers the total cost of outlays.

This is all just a smoke screen to avoid cutting a single dime from the DOD.

Seems we have come full circle.

You can have the last word.

Nonsense

The plan would reduce spending in very department equally including defense and entitlements such as ss, medicare, and medicaid

[sartre play]

true.
we'll have to send in squads of diplomats carrying not much more than carrots
and if the foreign policy hawks with jobs in national mass media, would just be that talking stick, you know, who hand out those first and final warnings towards officers involved in mass media foreign policy work, abroad and in the home countries.

against a foe that looks that far ahead (China), we stand little chance against them, without sticks on our table of options.

Just my guess, China doesn't want to destroy us, They want to own US.
We do need too do something about our borders. But stop overlooking Only AT those coming from Mexico.

It is a case of priorities

Global military power is a priority over domestic investment
The US spends 40 cents of every military dollar spent in the world
It comes at the cost of a crumbling infrastructure and healthcare and education being unaffordable for working families

The US military budget eclipses the sum of ALL OTHER MILITARY BUDGETS IN EVERY COUNTRY COMBINED ! Why arent the DemoCrats fighting this and why are the Democrats so hot to fund another Viet Nam ( Ukraine) war, they are supposed to be ANTI WAR.

WTF are the Democrats sponsoring the mass invasion of LOW WAGE WORKERS into the USA ? They have given up on American workers and dont say that they are taking jobs Americans wont do.

See, it works like this Skippy

For the first time in 80 years, we have the Ukraines doing the fighting and dying so we don’t have to.

Money wisely spent

 

[peacefan]

But isn't the entire world out to get us?

no, you still have good allies around the world that do see US military industrial complex as their primary defense contractors.
meaning their friendliness can be seen as genuine as well.

A draft could reduce the military's expenses by a 3rd to a half. Personnel and personal expenses such as housing take up half of the Pentagon's budget, I believe. A draft would greatly decrease the number of professional military soldiers, sailors
, marines, and airmen needed. Would you be willing to accept that? Of course, a draftee would make only a fraction of a professional soldier's salary.

The Draft doesn’t work anymore

We no longer need low skilled Grunts in the military. Most positions require trained troops who want to be there

Not exactly the first time. You tried this stuff in Syria and Lybia too. Not worked out too great, though.

You and lil’ Lindsey Graham think this utterly amazing bull shit. Further proof the two parties are aligned.

Keep pushing war Warfan!

The D Party has become just like the R Party. This is evident to some of us, not others. Both parties are controlled by billionaires, big corporations, and Israel.

I don’t see any US troops on the ground….do you?

If the US cut it's military spending by 85%, it would still have the biggest military budget in the world.

We would not be any less safe
Nobody is capable of invading us

They are coming to pick crops, make beds and mow lawns

That is not an invasion

The majority disagree -

Yeah in your world, that’s the only factor that counts. Hundreds of thousands dead and maimed mean nothing to you. To say nothing of the likelihood this dumb provoked proxy war leads to the usage of nuclear weapons.

The D Party is the war party.
