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.
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.

Its a carrot-stick bullshit that goes back since the fed was created. Lots of people want to feel like they are safe, and making the military cost more is one way to make people think that they are getting something high value, while hiding the true cost. With healthcare its the worst, I think that more money would probably get spent on medicine rather then health care if we had honest accounting.

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."

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.
 
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.
 
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.

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 ?

I may be able to live with that if they would cut two or more from all the unconstitutional agencies for ea one of those .
 
I'm sure John McCain could fill you in.


'Good point, it does seem the known neocon McCain and Trump agree on spending more on the Military. Since McCain is the opposite of conservative, does that make trump and his cucksuckers liberals?
