National Defense targeted again

Obama talks about “cost overruns” for DOD weapons at $230 billion. But pay attention to the insidious lie he tells. He says that money is “wasted”. That’s not accurate. Let’s say ten years ago the DOD estmates the F-35 fighter program will cost $200 billion over the next 20 years. Then five years later says the same program costs $230 billion, that is calculated as a $30 billion cost overrun. But the money has not been spent and it is usually caused by several factors. By NO MEANS is it just wasted money. The military may have cut the number to be produced, increased capabilities or whatever.

Once again we see Obama LYING to advance his agenda. My prediction; you read it here first. He will use this to cut the defense budget by $230 or so billion and then say “he is only cutting the wasteful spending”. But what will get cut is most all of the next generation weapon systems. Then the defense contractors will begin the lay-offs. So more money for ACORN but high tech workers will lose their jobs. It is all about power and creating dependancy.

Prediction #2 – the left hates the military and hates that the US is the worlds only superpower. By weakening the military the US will no longer be able to project military power.

    Democrats once again look to slash Defense and make the US weakened clearly signaling our enemies to build up and have their way anywhere/everywhere while the Chamberlains in the JackAss Party pat themselves on the back with Peace In NO Time agreements that aren’t worth the Paper they are (if they are) written…. Always putting us behind the 8-ball and having to rebuild the shambles they left….

    Can we afford the Obama (and fellow REDS) Surrender First Doctrine and Defense cuts? NO

    I have always loved DARPA, and with good reason. I still can’t wrap my head around why President Obama doesn’t. They were the ones who first started the internet, not Al Gore. I know that that’s not all they’ve done, but it’s the first one off the top of my head. They bust their butts to make the best technology to make our troops safe. I know not all of this is directly their doing, they contract out work, but still makes a valid point. If you cut funding for DARPA then you cut the budgets of hundreds of companies across the country that are american owned and operated. Layoffs ensue, and not the ill-educated, but engineers and scientists.
