Women legislators call for cuts to military budget

[UnderseaCaveman]

8:59--- Where hell has Orrock been the last 50 years? We have been a Militarized Society at least that long..... we are now on the dangerous path of Imperial Collapse, hello!!!

[TenseAlcyoneus]

I agree that we should reduce the defense budget. We should exit NATO and let Europe fend for itself.

[marcus3379]

European citizens to not want or need it. Nor do they want US military bases on their land. Ending NATO would be great for both Europe and the US.

Orrock says we had a 'lamentable number of people who even understood the Farsi language on 9/11'. what does Farsi have to do with 9/11?

[TenseAlcyoneus]

Good point. I missed that the first time.

[Vierotchka]

Farsi is the principal language spoken in Afghanistan.

Yes, cut the military budget, and return the tax dollars to the tax payers. But the idea of using the savings for socialist purposes is just as misdirected as spending on the military. Just say no to the progressive/socialist agenda.

[poop121]

yeh, bootstraps!!!!! libertopia

[bbburton]

You are out of your ever loving mind. How in the world do you even think that keeping the fruits of ones labor is akin to pure socialism? Get a grip, then get real.

Lobbyists should be banned from Washington, and a Senator accepting money from any special interest group should be immediately expelled from the senate.

These men and women no longer serve the people, and we need rules set in place to make them do their job, and if they don't want to do it, then fuck off.

[ArcticSlicer]

We need some major ethics reform in Washington that changes how political campaigns are funded. However the people who have the power to bring this reform are the ones in the pockets of corporate lobbyists and are unwilling to make the changes necessary for the betterment of democracy.

[RedOutcast]

soooo........is he increasing the budget? YES!

What a tool.

[FortHardKnox]

Wow! This representative is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot,

[turkeyjurker]

that's it Nan, dance for Barak, DANCE!

[UnderseaCaveman]

I hate sexism, in the case coming from females, especially with such a suggestive title.... as if Women will end the War. What a bunch of Baloney, they are funding with their heels (high or low) fully dug in. Where was this title like 5 years ago? Huh?

[JMehrman]

I with you on that UnderseaCaveman ... we've had enough already .. and the fact that women are proposing this should make this campaign somehow more successful? Frankly ... it all makes me want to vomit.

[UnderseaCaveman]

JMehrman,

Great Lady!! I loved it.

Cutting the military spending in half will still leave the US one of the top military spenders in the world.

So I say we cut it in half, good riddance to the Military industrial conference, the warfare welfare queens and the hundreds of foreign bases

[happosai27]

she must be some far left al qaida traitor which hates america and wants to destroy it to turn it into a muslim state lol thats what faux news bill oreilly would say for sure

[1urbandevil]

That's the best News I have heard so far!

I hope things work out for the best for all of you. ;-)

[flyhead2]

The military budget of the US is insane, and has created a domestic enemy that far outweighs any foreign threat.

[danoking69]

Truth!
