The Pentagon's budget is ridiculously oversized

[Ardent15]

We spend so much money on new weapons systems and wars abroad while our infrastructure at home decays/ It's disgusting.

[leftstreet]

1. Yep

True

7. "CUT THEM OFF" LIKE A DRUNK

BECAUSE THEY HAVE BECOME INSANE

[rusty charly]

2. Funny how 9/11 happened despite

their HUGE resources, huh?

[EFerrari]

3. Everything "failed". I guess we weren't spending enough.

:shrug:

[Ardent15]

6. This isn 't the 9/11 Conspiracy Theories forum

[rusty charly]

11. No conspiracy implied.

[Oregone]

4. Like Sarah Palin's popularity

[Optical.Catalyst]

5. The Strategic Missile Defense program is a complete waste of money

President Obama should immediately move to cancel the Strategic Missile Defense program, halt production of the F-22 stealth fighter, and cancel the Reliable Replacement Warhead (nuclear).

These new weapon systems have no mission in this world.

[Ardent15]

8. Agreed

War Pigs.

[Fovea]

9. And its mission overblown.

If our security is the issue, a much smaller, domestic self defense force and a larger air presence would be the answer.

10. Military spending = 55% of Bush's FY '09 Budget Proposal = RepubliCon budget demands
