How eloquent.
Have you every read the defence spending bills?
These are all concerns from Gates:
1. Defense budget has doubled in last 10 years. [edit from 50% to 100%]
2. Health care spending is skyrocketing in Defense budget.
Even questionable programs that armed forces don’t want are revived by Democrat Congressman to keep jobs in their state. Isn’t that the definition of Socialism?
Simple question: Are these Congressman the enemy of the state for wasteful spending or is Gates for putting heroes on the street? It’s pretty clear that nearly all Republicans like me believe that Gates needs to retire, maybe in France.
“One of the members of Congress, I’m told, said, ‘Well, why is $3 billion for the alternative engine such a big deal when we’ve got a trillion-dollar deficit?’ I would submit that’s one of the reasons we have a trillion-dollar deficit, is that kind of thinking,” Gates told reporters this month.
