The billions (as much as 500 billion over 10 years) the GOP Congress is forcing down the military's throat to buy equipment they don't need or want. When the Pentagon itself recommended these cuts to save money. How does that help reduce debt?
Only two reasons this is happening:
1. Keeping their buddy military contractors happy. The defence contractor making the tanks said that it's cheaper to keep the factory open making unwanted tanks then to shut down and restart it when demand is there. So there's some socialist gov money from the GOP.
2. Other reason is a lot of the jobs lost with the military cuts would hit Ohio. A swing state. But wait Ohio. Post election, when you are not a pawn in their strategy, expect some jobs lost.
- $500 bil in verious funding, not just the tanks BTW. That's only a little $400mil up to $2.8 bil.ETM
