Shortchanging National Security | Center for American Progress

Soon the budgetary debate will begin and as usual domestic programs will take it in the ass and more money will be sought to fund the US and its constant interventions….

Of course a selling point for all covert funding will be the usual culprit…National Security.

What will be on the menu for the sloths in Congress?  ISIS?  Russia?  Iraq?  Syria?  What will be the winner….we know that domestic programs will be the loser…..now we need to work on the big winner.

We need those big guns and airplanes that are nothing but an expensive paper weight…….we don’t need to feed children or educate them and we damn sure do not need to protect the environment (all sarcasm, in case you were unsure)…..

  1. The concept of ‘National’ Security, or, any kind of security, for that matter, is a complete and utter myth. Security, as defined, has no actual representation in Reality; there is NOTHING in the universe that is secure, which, in essence, means invulnerable to change….

    It’s all just a sham idea, to give the pundits an automatic response from the public whenever their imaginary ‘security’ is threatened by another illusion….

    Not much point in listening to anything they say about it; it’s all bullshit….

    But, it IS entertaining, in a creepy, non-healthy, Addams Family sort of way….

    1. Nat Sec is one of those words that makes Americans ears pop up and they pay attention…not always in the most rational way……LOL

  2. “National Security” is just the dog-whistle to generate the fear necessary to go on doing business as usual.

  3. What we need for the Congress to do is to allocate a few billion dollars to be used to “Take Care” of (Feed, house, clothe and medicate) the millions of Immigrants we will ultimately “Take In”.

    1. John, those immigrants will not be here for at least a year and half…they must pass the clearing process…they will remain where they are until then….maybe we should use the money here to feed our children….worry about others when it is appropriate.

      2. If true then it will be longer before they get here…..refugee process is done in the country of origin of the request…not here…

      3. The countries of origin have no more actual control over these masses of humanity fleeing across strange borders than we do. Let’s stop kidding ourselves that some legal process gets used here.

      5. “There are currently 15 to 20 million illegal aliens in this country by many estimates, but the real numbers could be much higher and the numbers increase every day because our borders are not secure (no matter what the politicians tell you—don’t believe them for a second).

        And yes, they are getting food and social services whether they are entitled to them or not… many are filling out fraudulent applications and getting the services.

        Many more are getting the services because of their anchor babies.

      7. The estimate is 12% of the population is now illegals. “Why” doesn’t matter. All the talk about how many and why doesn’t count for a thing — they are here and there are more coming and they are eating our resources and they will eat more and nobody seems to care.

      13. Okay I get that…….I have not seen this massive abuse that you see…so I will not tell my personal observation for when I do it is usually met with condescension by some…..but I will say that since Katrina we have had massive construction which has drawn many of these people….so it is not like there are none here….
