Excursions are expensive

Reminder that fucking Republicans are scumbags...all of them.

House Budget Chair Jodey Arrington and other GOP members of his committee will sit down with Pentagon officials at 3:30 pm today to talk through military funding requests, per 3 ppl.

Arrington, an RSC member, will oversee advancing the instructions to set up another reconciliation package. He told us yesterday he wants defense money added to a reconciliation bill and paid for with spending cuts across state and social programs.

When our economy is in the toilet and the very programs needed to help our most vulnerable will be cut so we can kill more brown people that live in a country most Americans could not identify on a map if you were giving them $200 billion dollars, is criminally insane.

WE. ARE. NOT. ANGRY. ENOUGH.

Iran War to be paid for out of cuts to state and local programs for Americans.

2. Trump aides struggle with how to spend $500 billion more on military

The White House budget chief was among those who internally objected to the defense secretary’s plan to increase military spending by roughly 50 percent, people familiar with the matter said.

Trump administration officials have struggled to figure out how to increase U.S. military spending by a whopping $500 billion in their forthcoming budget, slowing the overall White House spending plan, four people familiar with the matter said.

3. Exactly

Within a period of a couple months, we went from headlines like "we have too much money to spend" to "we need more money" and I am absolutely positive this is going into offshore slush funds for people in this administration.

No other answer makes sense.
