Not only has president Obama recklessly spent millions on rural broadband infrastructure($65 mil), and shoved a big dumb choo choo ($800 mil) down our throats, he also is running up the largest defense budget in history (700 billion)- as the yearly ritual requires.
Pentagon spending has averaged a growth rate of 7 percent a year over the last decade, adjusted for inflation (or nearly 12 percent a year without adjusting), including the costs of the wars. Mr. Obama has asked Congress for an increase in total spending next year of 2.2 percent, to $708 billion — 6.1 percent higher than the peak in the Bush administration.
The headline of the article this quote is from may surprise you:
Pentagon Plans Steps to Reduce Budget and Jobs
Don't worry, friends, Congress will most surely beef it up a bit more than Obama requested.
