$700 billion is not "bloated"... especially given the greatly weak state of the current military overall........ the degrading of the military since the Reagan administration will take more than 700 billion... and it is needed now....... and right now the wasteful spending of the military has to stop..... Trump needs to get that taken care of before any needed buildup can happen......
Conservatives only b*tch about fiscal responsibility and the deficit when Democrats are in charge. It's a talking point to rile up their base not an actual policy position that they care about.
They've been lying about being fiscally responsible since Reagan pushed the national debt over a trillion dollars in the 1980s! Lying has been a hidden plank of the GOP platform for decades!
It is called “lying”. FYI, you can have an insanely bloated military and be fiscally responsible too. You just can’t cut taxes for billionaires before increasing your spending.
