It seems to me that the Israelis are taking care of Hezbollah and Hamas with our help and the Houthis have attained very little regarding US forces in the area. Exactly where are they trying to "take us apart"?

Whose fault is that? You all had a filibuster proof majority under Obama…you could have done every thing you all wanted. Gun bans, wealth tax, and much more.

Democrats are not monolithic in their views

So when the dems come around and complain about all these things, and say “we need to pass laws!…”. It’s all just smoke and mirrors because they could have already passed the laws, but they didn’t…I suspect because they get more political capital by blaming repubs for “blocking”

Are you seriously suggesting that because they had a super majority for 2 years in 2009 and 2010, they could have gotten every democratic priority passed?

We have 10 ships that are getting very old and are getting close to their 50 years service life. There is one Ford class at sea with two more building.

Yeah, build more of the Nimitz Class, pocket he savings. Not that hard to understand.

According to Wikipedia, 10 Ford class carriers are on order.

We stay at sea all around the world. Those countries do not. China does not deploy to the Mediterranean, Red Sea or Persian Gulf, do they? I once traveled to the coast of Russia on the Black Sea. Russia send a few ships to the east coast, and everyone has a panic attack!

I don’t recall having a panic attack.

"I

"investment" is the euphemism lefties use to refer to flushing money down the welfare state toilet. Your obviously a government employee.

When we send money to red states, you’re right. Every one of them is a cesspool

It doesn't matter where you send it. Government wastes every dime you give to it.

What "savings?"

Say what???? I’ve never seen such a lock step bunch. You all like to jeer the right for their infighting, because they all have different views, but you all never disagree with each other. When pelosi was speaker, they all lined up behind her, and as soon as Jeffries becomes speaker, they will line up behind him.

You all are absolutely monolithic in your views.

Yes..they could. All the bills they want to pass are probably already written, just need to be brought to the floor and voted on. With a supermajority, there is no obstacle.

 

[candycorn]

You apparently haven’t seen much then.

See the filibuster and expanding the Supreme Court debates.

You all are absolutely monolithic in your views.

More falsehoods

lol…you’re cartoonish understanding of politics is funny.

I wanted to reply to a few more of these comments. The only ones that I do not understand are the references to Trump. Not one reference to Biden/Harris. This thread was titled "We should rid ourselves of redundant federal bureaucracies and use the money more wisely".

Which reminds me: An Article V Convention of States is a good option. Much better than invoking Article II. ? It seems like all sides can agree this monster is out of control.

 

[CowboyTed]

There is a compromise to be made here. I am open to reducing defense spending. Perhaps not to those levels...but a significant reduction. In conjunction with getting rid of these redundant bureaucracies.

Most of the Federal Education Budget goes to Student Aid, this goes to kids who want to work hard and better themselves... This is a very good investment by the government which they get back plenty times over in the increased taxes they will pay. It is a crazy good investment.

 

[CowboyTed]

Wrong.

How about we cut defense spending from 800-900 billion down to 200 billion and use that 600-700 billion to invest in our people?

The US is struggling to get personel due to one of the main reasons, lack of education.

Who has ever had a supermajority?

That's why we need to invest more in our education system instead of the military.

No it doesn't.
