The House and Senate are going on vacation again in a few weeks and that means a big push to get things done before they do.
It also means lots of new spending.
The Hill reports today the Senate is set to vote on more than $100 billion in new spending this week. That figure includes $34 billion to extend unemployment benefits and $81.3 billion to fund the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Why is military spending holy and untouchable? Any democrat that is not pushing for cuts in military spending are corrupt congressmen and women.
Even if Iraq and Afghanistan are untouchable, the rest of the military industry and unnecessary tropp deployments all over the world could be cut back. WHO IS GOING TO SPEAK UP ABOUT CUTTING MILITARY SPENDING???
