Pentagon budget reflects current realities rather than future dreams

The US Senate has united behind a new spending bill for the Defense Department - the biggest ever. What does this bill cover - and are these expenses really necessary?

@RussianDefender100 Haha, you don't get out of your country much do you? You know nothing about us, because you get your information off of the t.v. or Youtube. You sound like an idiot. I would not talk to anyone if I lived in that shithole called Russia. I've been to many countries, and yours is by far the worst. Go learn something now little boy before you make a bigger ass out of yourself.

AAA by the same US agencies that rated MBS as AAA couple of years back.

Now that same MBS that foreigners bought are being bought by the Fed in exchange for slightly less worthless treasuries.

@RusshitsSurrender100 - while you make a fool of yourself with your kook rants,

US sovereign debt is AAA rated - Investor Quality.

Russia's Sovereign Debt is BBB rated, just two levels above junk status.

It's Russia that's risky, idiot.

@RusshitsSurrender100 - here's the real number, idiot.

The US "public debt", not it's fiscal year deficit, idiot, is $7.72T as of Dec 11.

That's about 50% of GDP which is less than most other countries.

China holds about $800B of that.
