I've heard the magic bean argument but not just for military. The government cannot control the price of goods yet most problems that people have with government is the cost. The government is in business to make things cost more, and when they do this, they make people think they have the power to control the price of things.Question for anyone who can read this. Has anyone in your personal life who is not a politician or MIC worker said this or similar thing to you. "You know what our country needs? a more advanced equipment and arsenal". I ask this cos you hear so many politicians promise this like there are millions of people out there asking for it.
My quess is that if there are people like that in the world, that wish would still be very low on their needs list.

The MIC can essentially print money so their advertisements are extraordinary. Selling Americans the most powerful military in the world is like selling ice to an eskimo.Exactly. The United States already has the most powerful military in the world. Political sensibilities are what keep us from using it to it's full effect. That isn't going to change by carrying out "one of the greatest military buildups in American history."
I thought the federal hiring freeze was a good start.
Hiring freeze? The Federal "hiring freeze" has an exemption for any job that relates to public safety or defense. That's how they're hiring 15k additional ICE agents. Oh, and they added 16k to the size of the Army. And today he promised more.I thought the federal hiring freeze was a good start.
He definitely seems at war with him self at times. When he is not talking out of both sides of his mouth he is downright refuting something he previously said before. This is making America look like a banana republic. Is this the secret Russian deal, do we tell the citizens of the world that freedom isn't real ?So far it seems growing the government is Trumps priority, not very conservative, in fact he is a liberal, just like the fanatical cucksuckers that think one leader, the right leader will save them. Dangerous.
More likely sell it to ISIS before he "totally obliterates" them.
