And, there we have it. One of my ex-bosses (a Republican) headed a commission years ago that showed how we could cut spending by closing military bases that were not needed. How long have the Republicans controlled the Congress? How many years did they have to cut spending in this area? Let me guess, you want to cut spending for poor people, welfare, food stamps and the lot. Check with Mitch McConnell. Entire counties of people in his state won't be able to feed their kids, if you do. Cutting spending really worked in Kansas. They have a robust economy. Oh, wait. They are in the toilet, while tax and spend California is the sixth largest economy in the world and flourishing. You have bought into a brainwashing that defies math, logic and decency. Good luck with it. Why don't you slither elsewhere. You bore me.
