Trump Targets Department of Defense for Wasteful Spending

[tennman]

No blank check from Donald Trump for the Department of Defense. This is really good news for the liberty minded.

Donald Trump slammed wasteful government spending and the record U.S. national debt from the first day of his campaign and is already looking for ways for the government to be better stewards of the taxpayers’ money even though he won’t take office until next month.

He is targeting the Department of Defense and its contract with Boeing to build Air Force One, the aircraft that transports the President. Tuesday morning on Twitter, Trump blasted Boeing’s massive Air Force One contract with the Department of Defense, calling the $4 billion price tag “out of control” and even suggesting the deal should be cancelled altogether: http://resistancefeed.com/2016/12/06/trump-wants-cancel-boeings-4-billion-air-force-one-contract/

He suggested that Boeing was inflating the price tag because it was a government contract. None of that under his watch, apparently.

THUMP says a lot, but his actions are VERY different. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it, but it takes a bunch of idiots to defend it. 3.2.1.....

what actions?

 

[helmuth_hubener]

what actions?

Indeed. Some serious cognitive dissonance at play here, in my opinion.

Here's a simple question. The US government spending $4 billion fewer dollars: a good thing or a bad thing?

Hysteria, in the colloquial use of the term, means ungovernable emotional excess. Generally, modern medical professionals have abandoned using the term "hysteria" to denote a diagnostic category, replacing it with more precisely defined categories, such as somatization disorder. In 1980, the American Psychiatric Association officially changed the diagnosis of "hysterical neurosis, conversion type" (the most extreme and effective type) to "conversion disorder".

The word "hysteria" originates from the Greek word for uterus: hystera.[1] Historically, hysteria has referred to a disease exclusive to women, and references as far back as 2000 BC [2] have been made to similar versions of this condition. Hysteria was thought to manifest itself in women with a variety of symptoms, including: anxiety, shortness of breath, fainting, insomnia, irritability, nervousness, as well as sexually forward behaviour.[3] These symptoms mimic symptoms of other more definable diseases and create a case for arguing the validity of Hysteria as an actual disease, and it is often implied that it is a term used to describe an indefinable illness.[1] Through to the 20th century, however, Hysteria came to be recognized as a mental, rather than uterine or physical, affliction. We now know it by a variety of mental illnesses and anxieties that both men and women can suffer from, and hysteria is no longer thought of as a real ailment[2]

Through its lack of use as a medical diagnosis the term ‘hysteria’ now has connotations of mass panic, imagined or real. The term hysterical when applied to a singular person can mean that they are emotional or irrationally upset; when applied to a situation, it denotes it as funny.[2]

Idiocracy
Idiocracy is democracy gone wrong through idiocy. It is the unfortunate situation where the vote of a person ignorant of even the most basic of facts surrounding an issue or candidate counts exactly as much as the vote of someone who is well-informed about the specific issue or candidate.
In an idiocracy the vote of someone who says for example, "I won't vote for Obama because I heard he is a known terrorist and doesn't like Italian food" counts as much as the vote of someone who makes an effort to find out exactly where the presidential candidates stand on various issues. It's democracy gone wrong through idiocy. Another example is "I won't vote for McCain because I heard he has Alzheimers and has already spent time in a nursing home."

What difference does it make when your $20,000,000,000.00 in debt. $4,000,000.00 is like the penny you give to the bum in the street.
But hey The trumpets are falling for it. Im sure they all have the biggest hard ons full of respect for him now. Circle Jerk everyone!!! #MAGA one penny at a time.

Not a Trump fan but if Rand was the president-elect and said the same thing everyone hear would be cheering.

$125 billion in administrative waste in its business operations amid fears Congress would use the findings as an excuse to slash the defense budget

Looks like he needs to tack $125 more billions on the chopping block.

Apparently your liberal friends and our liberal President don't know what the cost is either. The cost is $1.65 billion for an order of two aircrafts. http://www.politico.com/story/2016/12/trump-boeing-air-force-one-232243

And it seems at least possible that Trump is retaliating against Boeing solely because the CEO of Boeing called out Trump's economic illiteracy on trade a half hour before the Tweet.
