SS: If Trump gets Congress to halve the military budget, and China and Russia go along, is it time for even the Trump skeptics to get on board… at least for some issues. This is a pretty revolutionary proposal by him. I don’t think any other president would have the guts to do it.
“At some point, when things settle down, I’m going to meet with China and I’m going to meet with Russia, in particular those two, and I’m going to say there’s no reason for us to be spending almost $1 trillion on the military … and I’m going to say we can spend this on other things,” Trump said.
“When we straighten it all out, then one of the first meetings I want to have is with President Xi of China and President Putin of Russia, and I want to say let’s cut our military budget in half. And we can do that, and I think we’ll be able to do that,” he added.

We are cutting overspending on bullshit contracts.
U.S military pays 3x the price for a service rifle than the average civilian.
literally the same hardware, 3x more expensive due to bullshit gov contracts.

Its not halving the budget its finding where the loose money went and getting it back. Having said that there is a lot about the DOD that could be made more efficient. I know one company that sold janky DVRs for 5000 dollars that are worse than your TIVO. They military buys crap sometimes.

Lol the left will never do that. Literally their ONLY POLITICAL POSITION IS; WE HATE TRUMP AND HES BAD. He Wants to stop nuclear weapon production. Ending wars quickly left and right. Has other countries pledging money and business with us. Wants to cut spending and keep money in the country, Wants to lower/abolish income tax, Wants our country for our citizens exclusively and has almost completely stopped illegal migration in a month.
If your against this at face value your not smart, if your against it because of trump you’re brainwashed. That’s all

I think that unfortunately the answer to this is gonna be a retrospective and we’re not truly going to know if we should. We’re only gonna know whether we should’ve.

No other countries need to cut their military budget. The U.S. wastes more money than any county on military terrorism destroying innocent countries for Israel. The budget needs cut 70%. The money being stolen returned to the people. The extreme military budget is for Israel, not us. All money being stolen for Israel needs to stop. I don’t believe it will ever be stopped. Just trump talking shit like usual.

This is great, the federal government needs to be completely transparent. There should be no black ops or secret government projects, the federal government should only be here to provide us with basic services and transparent military and leave the rest to the states, they’ve been overstepping their boundaries for a looong time.
