Riiighttt!!!

Can you read graphs, fagboy? More importantly, can you comprehend them? DoD spending is now down to 3.1% of GDP and 14.3% of total federal outlays. Better look elsewhere for your budget-busting bugaboo.

So is 3.1% the magic number? Who set that number as the one? You?

No need to google it. We already noticed the endorsement posted on your gloryhole website by one of your loyal customers:

"Woomby, the failed writer and freelance faggot from Arkansas, needs no chiding before he gobbles down your cock and eagerly swallows every drop!"

Yes, the NDAA originally WAS a bipartisan bill. Both sides in Congress plus the executive branch agreed on the amount of defense spending as well as the reform provisions it contained. And yet Odumbo vetoed it anyway! For reasons that have nothing to do with the bill, something no previous president has ever done. The responsibility for ANY Presidential veto resides squarely in the Oval Office. Why can't you get that through your thick blame-shifting partisan skull?

I also blame the nincompoop for not knowing how to budget. If you want more for defense, then you allocate less for non-defense. That's the real world. Instead, Odumbo says I want more for defense - therefore I am entitled to more for non-defense. That's completely upside down. It's the Alice-in-Wonderland world. No wonder the community organizer hasn't passed a single budget since taking office in 2009.

You also lie when it comes to his allocation for more defense bullshit. Saying you want more for defense and wanting more for non-defense doesn't mean the two things are mutually exclusive. Of course there will be cuts in other areas.

He vetoed it. Get over it. It's his prerogative to do so.

The Defense budget is out of control. It is rife with useless weapon systems, unwanted and unneeded hardware, inflated pricing in purchases, waste, corruption and fraud. If they were forced to use common business practices to manage their money, we could have a stronger, more effective defense on one-third to one-half of what we are spending now.

Try to say something intelligent, sewer rat. Did anyone say something about a "magic number"? Nope. Try to understand the graph, moron.

As a percent of GDP, we are now spending on defense roughly 1/4 of what we did during the Korean War, 1/3 of what we did during Vietnam, and 1/2 of what we spent under the Reagan build-up (which won the Cold War before Odumbo started pissing it away).

The numbers speak for themselves, sewer rat. If you can't say anything intelligent about them, just STFU.

Is that better? Until Odumbo arrived, Congress always managed to pass a federal budget.

If you want to spend more on x, you need to budget less for y. Unless you are a community organizer or a libtard sewer rat who thinks like Alice in Wonderland.

What "common business practices" are you talking about?

Here are the DoD numbers under Obama. Do they look "out of control"? They are in nominal dollars which means spending has declined even more dramatically in real (inflation-adjusted) terms.

FY 2010 - $691 billion
FY 2011 - $687 billion
FY 2012 - $645 billion
FY 2013 - $578 billion
FY 2014 - $581 billion
FY 2015 - $560 billion

DooDoo economics...

What does this have to do with Obama's religious beliefs?

"Current military” includes Dept. of Defense ($586 billion) and the military portion from other departments as noted in current military box above($196 billion). “Past military” represents veterans’ benefits plus 80% of the interest on the debt.*
