Trump Budget to Cap Next Raise, Hike Retiree TRICARE Fees, Slam ‘IU’ Vets

Seriously Sir?

SSgt Ray Stone - This is a DRAFT, it hasn't been approved.

LTC (Join to see) - It is the White-houses Draft It has been signed off on by the White House

It is a White House budget. If he did not, why did he send it to Congress?

Maj John Bell - "Everyone agrees that government overspends," Correct. And the worst steward of tax payer funds is....the DoD.

SFC Thomas Butler - I do not know if your assertion about the DoD is correct or incorrect. I do believe that eventually debt will crush the nation or people who have become so utterly dependent on government will be thrown under the bus, because there just isn't enough rich peoples' money to appropriate. I would prefer to pay my own way than to leave my debt to my grandchildren. Anything else is shameful.

Maj John Bell - Wait.....you're a retired Major and you don't agree that the DoD waste taxpayer funds? Really?

SFC Thomas Butler - I never said the DoD doesn't waste funds. Let me clarify, I don't know if the DoD is the worst steward. It may be, but I doubt that it is so far in the lead that it can't see the pack in the rear view mirror.
