Congressmen Concerned About Trump's “Crazy” Defense Spending

The tweet of the US President, in which he not only spoke about the “readiness” to meet and discuss the arms race with Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, but also noted the “insane spending” of the US on the military sector, caused fears in the American elites. Moreover, these fears are declared not only in the US Congress, but also in the presidential administration. All opponents are unanimous in saying that it is impossible to go for a reduction in funding. In this case, a variety of arguments.

Thus, the head of the Pentagon, James Mattis, speaking at the so-called Reagan National Defense Forum, stated that a reduction in the military budget "will become a bad thing not only for the American army, but also for the entire people of the United States."

Mattis:

Is it dangerous. I must report this to the president.

The head of the Senate Armaments Committee, J.Inhof, and the Chairman of the Armed Forces Committee of the House of Representatives, M. Thornberry, made a statement saying that it is necessary to increase funding "in order to improve the state of national defense."

Inhof:

We share the desire to level the damage caused by President Obama and to restore our armed forces to achieve the National Defense Strategy.

In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Thornberry and Inhof said that reducing the military budget "will not have a significant impact on eliminating the budget deficit," but at the same time "will have a negative impact on the US defense capability."

Recall that the "madness" Donald Trump called the volume of the US military budget in 716 billion dollars. At the same time, Trump was reminded that it was he who initiated the growth of recent military spending.

And it is always like this: with a reduction in spending, the budget deficit does not disappear.

Now the ideal situation is to inflict a severe blow to the Americans on their economy ... but only China can do it .. and China, as you know, will never do it .. I mean, they would throw off 300 billion of the American debt and a panic would begin ..

What do we care about the American budget. We would like to see where our money goes. The other day, Putin asked our scientists where they put 400 billion wooden, and what? He promised to ask again. We have trillions of money pumped out of our economy. Whose is this "egg"?

And besides the banal statement of the fact, the redhead cannot do anything. Rather, they won't let you do anything, if anything. Encroachments on the military-industrial complex and the military budget, "sacred cows" mattresses, are punished harshly, regardless of position and position in society. Therefore, the statement of the redhead about the enormity of the military budget means something like the following: "Such a huge amount of money ... oh, horror! .... but what to do?"

you can’t go to cut funding. In this case, a variety of arguments are given.

these are bullshit arguments. The main reason that the feed will be less in the trough.

The US military-industrial complex will crush any president for the money.

Trump was reminded that it was he who initiated the growth of military spending in recent times

Trump often happens incidents when at lunch he forgets what he said in the morning and in the evening that he said in the afternoon. And the position changes according to the mood or whisper of the daughter with her son-in-law in the ear.

These are his tactical maneuvers, and everyone understands something else.

They have their own zoo, their own panopticon ... it remains only to see how it all ends.

If this did not affect us then it would be mono to drink tea and watch, but they climb to us through all the cracks.

Yes, for sho do not take it, it still affects us. It is necessary to react in the case, specifically, but it does not make sense to every oddball and sneeze from behind a hill and it’s worth saving your nerves!
Boom to see.

[cniza]

We have no other choice.

[rocket757]

There is a way out if you look well .... all the more and worse have already passed. Already leaving, though not as fast as we wanted!
Break through.

At the same time, Trump was reminded that it was he who initiated the growth of military spending recently.

But he does not remember that.
