And you think this will balence the budget?
How about NO attacking vets for your failed political ideas
You guys on the left really make no sense sometimes.
You put on a show being enraged at the accusation of cuts to our vets (whether or not there actually are any, i don't know). Yet you demand we cut the military spending all the time.
So you want to cut spending supporting our current military, but increase money (or atleast keep it the same) for the former military. With all due respect to the vets, I kind of think that the current troops should be a higher priority.
Unless of course, your over all plan is to produce less vets by defunding our current military to the point where few if any survive. That's just absurd.
Now, I am of the opinion that our military spending can be cut significantly while maintaining our skill and efficiency by eliminating alot of the waste and irresponsible spending. My guess there is probably some wasteful spending involved with veteran benefits. I mean this is the government we are talking about.
I'm for cutting wasteful spending no matter where it's found. So perhaps you could present a more fact based argument and a less emotionally based argument. What benefits are being proposed to be cut? Is this the most efficient use of our money? Can we provide them cheaper somehow?
I see no reason why we can't eliminate waste and keep our vets well taken care of.
