To talk about cutting the deficit and not talk about defense and Bush taxcuts is hypocrisy...
to the nth degree.

Everyone knows that the problem with the deficits was created by Bush taxcuts and unfunded wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and a bloated, wasteful defense budget.

It is a deceptive sleight-of-hand to pretend the problem lies elsewhere, such as Social Security, foreign aid, space exploration, education, etc.

If we want to cut the deficit, fix the problems that caused it. Otherwise, you are only talking out of your ass.

2. worse, they are exposing who they are really serving. The military is a form of corporate welfare
and used to seize and defend foreign assets for the benefit of the wealthy.
