发帖数: 38600 | 2 Health care, Social Security, Medicare and other social programs are all on
the chopping block as the Republican-led Congress scrambles to make up for
the revenue lost to its planned tax cuts. The Pentagon, however, remains a
sacred cow, destined to receive yet more money.
The military budget is now $643 billion. The actual and potential threats
from Russia, China, North Korea and Islamic extremists are all serious, but
giving the Pentagon another huge increase defies common sense. The Pentagon
already wastes about one in five of the taxpayer dollars it receives,
according to a Pentagon-commissioned study. And the United States, which has
plenty of other urgent needs, already spends more on its military than the
next seven countries combined. |
