  • Let's declare war on Poverty.

  • Great idea. Let's cut defense spending first and then the bloated farm subsidies to mega-Ag corporations (Bachman gets $25k/year farm subsidy).

  • @fireking9934 No, you misunderstand. The Pentagon budget remains intact. That's over 1/2 trillion dollars every year. When you add in military costs in other Cabinet departments, that's another $150 billion. The wars have been funded largely by Supplemental Spending Bills that are additional funds allocated outside the budget. Those Supplemental Funds are what Grayson is talking about.
