Sure, what the heck? What’s ANOTHER hundred thousand or more American Deaths in some more useless wars? That’s what poor people are for! We can just draft them! We HAVE to prop up the oil companies and their profit margins!
Bush/Cheney (Tillerson at Exxon?) shot down the Clinton deal of providing N.Korea with fuel and food, destroying the “diplomatic” resolve, and increased “training excercises” from the south to threaten. Now with over $100 BILLION in identified waste at DOD they want to give them $54 billion, or is it $60 billion MORE to waste on junk from contractors, like KBR, Boeing, Lockheed-Martin (the Cheney home front), Ratheon, or defense contractors in Israel providing our electronics? 1.3 to 1.6 trillion, the ACTuAL defense spending including “black box”, but we’ll castrate State Department. Hmm, and it was Hillary (not) cutting State Dept. security funding that led to “Benghazi”??? yeah, right. toon is right, but that ain’t Tillerson getting squashed, he’s lined up for more war profits in his briefcase.
Trump is like a six year old playing with is toy soldiers. He has no understanding of what the Armed Forces are, what they do and DO NOT do, and, definitely he does not understand how to use them. If he actually knew how to use both military might AND diplomacy he would not need such a large military.
Before someone chimes in with “Trump went to a military academy,” he went to a private high school which called itself a “military academy” because it made its pupils wear uniforms and march. I have seen no indication that the Armed Forces accepted any of its training as “military training,” and Trump was sent there because of his behavior problems. They obviously did not succeed in correcting his aberrations.
A note: Constitution Article I, section 7 “All bills for raising revenue shall originate in the HOUSE of Representatives, but the Senate may propose or concur with amendments, as with other bills.”
Trumpy could end up with continuing resolutions, or nothing he’s asked for, hopefully the latter.
Cuts to poverty programs (Meals on Wheels, school lunches) are ‘as compassionate as you can get,’ Trump budget chief says. But after these cuts, the poor should be happy to pay for defense.

Our military is already larger than the next 15 countries – which would, I’m assuming, include Russia and China – so why do we need more?

Tillerson is already warning N. Korea that we will use the military option. Soon we will have the second Korean war.

If war is the answer, what was the question?

I’m so glad we won’t be wasting money on social programs that aren’t effective like Meals on Wheels. There’s no proof that food stops hunger, anyway.
