Budget cuts could force tough aircraft choices - Air Force News News from Afghanistan & Iraq - Air Force Times

I will continue to say this time and again ............ no amount of cutting defense gets us out of our budget problems.

The problem is domestic spending........which is simply buying votes for politicians wanting to get re-elected. They have created a monster, and won't address the real cause of our fiscal problems, which is the US Budget is allowing too many to feed off it. And few politicians are willing to make the tough choices because of their concern about being elected again and again and again.

The left is and always will be the biggest problem ............ showing no concern for fiscal sanity. A few of them are closet socialists. Those are the people who have to be exposed, and go................now.
