Yes, Repubs say we NEED to cut programs such as Medicare in order to pay for useless weapons programs.

"It is one of 22 major Army weapons programs canceled since 1995, ringing up a price tag of more than $32 billion for equipment that was never built. A new study, commissioned by the Army and obtained by The Washington Post, condemns the service’s efforts as “unacceptable.”

The military is America's holy cow and can do what it wants. For military expenditures America has money to burn.

Those programs need to be cut and so do the abandoned weapons programs along with the unnecessary jet engines. It's not that either/or needs to be cut; it all needs to be cut if we're going to be serious.

wow...32 billion since 1995..that's 16 years..or about 2 billion a year

meanwhile medicaid has gone UP by 15 billion a year for the last 10 years

meducaud which is currently 320 billion is expected to be 480 billion by 2015(3 years from now)a increase of 160 billion in less than 4 years

and you are worried about 32 billion over 16 years

The fact that you're willing to look the other way and argue about something else completely speaks volumes.

Most people are just afraid of being called a traitor like Tom Drake has been for bringing to light fraud, waste and abuse at the National Security Agency (NSA).
