The Education Department! The whole thing, root and branch. That would save a lot of money.Newt Gingrich spelled out what he wanted to cut.
Why can't the GOP today do that?
Rick Scott came out with a "plan" that cut precisely nothing.
We need to CUT SPENDING.
That is what produced the prosperity of the 1990s - FISCAL CONSERVATISM

OMG seriously? Okay for starters the heaping pile of PORK in the so called infrastructure bill that has absolutely nothing to do with infrastructure. Want an example? Gobs and gobs of billions for administrative government jobs, oversight, R&D, research grants that bill is full of PORK government patronage jobs, pay offs, bribes for votes it's about growing the size and spending of government.Please, Republicans, tell us ONE "1" thing you would CUT from the budget....

I won't hold my breath waiting for a prog to make sensible suggestions about defense.A huge chunk of "defense". Much more can be done with much less. There is far too much emphasis on big targets and not enough on numerous, cheap, small, highly destructive devices. Anyone notice what's happening in Ukraine? $35 billion for a single weapon (the F35), is totally absurd.
Did any Republicans vote for it?And how many "Republicans" voted for it??
All the ones FOX NEWS loves....
Without it all that would happen is more dumb republicans.The Education Department! The whole thing, root and branch. That would save a lot of money.

Obviously, it was the cost of the weapon, not a single unit, that was referenced. The same amount spent on anti-aircraft missiles would likely give you air superiority that was much more flexible. It is very dangerous to depend on large value, limited military hardware, especially in this age of leap-frog tech.The F35 costs how much....
At $78 million the fifth-generation F-35A's unit cost compares
Ask Google at that comes up...
And, yeah, in a war, who the hell cares about AIR SUPERIORITY.... when there are "real" problems like racism and global warming...

You're delusional if you believe you can achieve air superiority purely with ground based missiles. a few squadrons of planes can easily knock out all your ground based missiles. What do you believe the USA did during the first Gulf war?Obviously, it was the cost of the weapon, not a single unit, that was referenced.

Planes are hit and miss, and F35 is indeed trending miss...
But in war, air superiority actually does matter....
Where was it suggested that all the other airplanes in the arsenal would be scrapped? Read what's said, not what you want it to be.Your delusional if you believe you can achieve air superiority purely with ground based missiles. a few squadrons of planes can easily knock out all your ground based missiles.

The F35 will end up costing a lot more than $35 billion. More like $135 billion.A huge chunk of "defense". Much more can be done with much less.
