Leave it to the Rs......spending cuts are good until it upsets their lobbyists. They are so FOS.

GOP hawks use sharp rhetoric to fight deeper Pentagon budget cuts

By John T. Bennett


Republican lawmakers are using increasingly sharp rhetoric to argue against additional cuts to defense spending, warning the military will cede its technical edge, manufacturing will further erode and conscription will return.

House GOP lawmakers have not shied away from bluntly sounding alarms about what nearly $1 trillion in defense cuts over a decade would bring. Some have gone so far as to warn that a “dismantled force” would threaten the American way of life.

A House Armed Services Committee Republican staff report that surfaced this week concluded that cuts deeper than the $350 billion agreed to as part of the August debt deal would force Pentagon officials to shrink the military to pre-9/11 levels. The study also said most of the military’s big-ticket weapons programs would be placed “at risk” of termination or big changes to cut costs.

I want you to know what I believe, where I stand, and what I think is worth fighting for: I want to help rebuild America’s middle class. I want a future filled with opportunities for those who work hard and play by the rules.................Warren

except that the "rules" as defined by Warren and the liberal elite will ultimately destroy Americas's middle class........ Great intentions..........tragic results

Al, > Does that sound like "collectivism" to you?

So because she says she wants "opportunities for those who work hard and play by the rules," she isn't a liberal collectivist?

Come on, Al, you should recognize left-wing slogans by now. "I want to help rebuild America's middle class." Really? How many times have I heard that from people who are killing the mechanisms by which the middle class prosper in America?
