Big government loves to spend money, and we know how liberals love big government.

The TEA Party hates such careless and wasteful spending, but I'm sure you disagree with the TEA Party on this as well.

Sorry enlisted soldiers and marines, we would like to buy you better body armor, bring in a few new wheeled vehicles, fix the VA and maybe give you a much deserved pay raise, but both parties are concerned first and foremost with buying votes and making friends with billionaires who will one day give them do-nothing multi-million dollar per year seats on corporate boards as a reward for their loyal service while in office.

So for now you`ll have to take what is left over after the mooches and string pullers are taken care of.


So when does Hillary do her photo op with the military hardware she voted against while in office?

So let the states take care of the poor people in their states, and let the federal government worry about national defense.

You see, that's your problem, you've bought into the notion that the federal government is supposed to be your wet nurse. Taking care of their citizens who are down on their luck is a state function, not the federal government's.

There was always going to be one too many (and last) fighter planes. Maybe this is the one.
