Heads up .mil/.gov...possible we're not getting paid

[atomic charvel guy]

i have a question, i am by no means educated on this stuff at all. thus my question.
if the government trimmed, and i do mean trimmed down the funds allocated for defense,
wouldn't that pretty much solve a boatload of problems in these other areas? just asking here, since I did hear that this country spends more on defense than the next 9 countries after us combined. does that apply here? or is that a whole different ballpark?

not only a different ballpark Tommy. Its a different sport altogether.

One of the main problems with Defense funding is the completely different outlooks from Democrats and Republicans. If they could settle on a happy medium and not sway from it when either one or the other parties has control to change it, there would be a LOT of funding that could go elsewhere and still keep the armed forces ready. Unfortunately, the Dems don't want to give any $, and the Republicans want to dump tons of $ towards it.

Unless you're a .gov or .mil and this applies to you, quit spamming the thread with political rhetoric.

Take it to the political section.

Oh yeah? Make me! You and what army?

I apologize for derailing the thread DRM, it is a heated issue sometimes hard to hold back. As i said i seriously hope that does not happen.
