Endangered Species Act (UPDATED!)

[GAsux]

Quite honestly, I would be willing to bet that each year half the proposed budget increases are for things the service chiefs never asked for.

You see, Sen X. doesn't so much care about whether the Air Force really needs more C-17s, or whether the Army really needs a new weapons system. All Sen. X cares about is jobs and money is his state. So therefore, every year we blow money on things the services never asked for in the first place.

Its unfortunate that most people are relatively short sighted and associate large military budgets with military folks, as if they are somehow reaping the benefit. My W-2s will respectfully disagree.
