Trump is promising tax cuts....
And he wants to act like Rodney Dangerfield in Caddy Shack...
In talking about the military....
I want 2 of those 10 of these 20 of those....100 of them....
He wants to spend like crazy and cut taxes at the same time....
You know, I did a calculation just on what the Naval expansion would cost for just the crew's paychecks per year, and we currently have 285 ships, Trump wants to expand that to 350, making it 65 new ships. Each ship needs a crew, and the average would probably be around 200 people, which would be 13,000 new Sailors just to crew the ships.
Figure 13,000 Sailors, with the average pay being around 30,000/year, means that just for the sailors, it would be 390 MILLION dollars per year just for the Sailors, and that's before the ships are built.
