Military.com, "Congress Again Buys Abrams Tanks the Army Doesn't Want", Dec 18, 2014 | by Richard Sisk
"The new defense spending bill includes $120 million for tanks that the Army has repeatedly said it doesn't want.
In a statement, Rep. Mike Turner, R-Ohio, said that Congress "recognizes the necessity of the Abrams tank to our national security and authorizes an additional $120 million for Abrams tank upgrades. This provision keeps the production lines open in Lima, Ohio, and ensures that our skilled, technical workers are protected."
Turner chairs the Tactical Air and Land Forces Subcommittee of the House Armed Services Committee and will retain that position in the next Congress. His district includes the General Dynamics Land Systems plant in Lima, the only U.S. manufacturer of tanks."
This **** really burns me up, whether R or D. I'm sick of this.
If you REALY want to "**** really burns me up, read Sen. Tom Coburns books on the waste in the fed gov't.
