How Democrats Are Threatening America’s Strength

Democrats are threatening to cut the defense budget, putting America’s security at risk. The Free Beacon reports:

Nearly two dozen liberal groups on Thursday wrote to all 2020 Democratic presidential candidates, pushing them to support massive cuts to the defense budget.

The progressive groups urged the candidates to back cutting $200 billion or more from the Pentagon’s annual budget, which exceeded $700 billion for the current fiscal year, the Associated Press reported.

The left-wing effort, called “Put People Over the Pentagon,” seeks to make defense spending a prominent issue in the presidential race.”

“Hundreds of billions of dollars annually should be shifted away from the Pentagon and to pressing needs from education to averting catastrophic climate change,” Robert Weissman, president of the watchdog nonprofit Public Citizen, told the AP. “America needs leaders who will speak plain truths about Pentagon excesses and waste.”

If Democrats are threatening America’s security, this will leave Trump as the only candidate for patriotic Americans.

You might want to ask yourself “what is the federal government doing in the welfare business”?? Whenever I see or hear the “do gooders” talk about REDUCING the armed forces budget for “social welfare reform (or help)” I shudder. It is the DUTY of the federal government to defend the United States of America and ‘her’ cirizens — social programs are the province of the States and should be sponsored and administered by them. “We the people” have become so dependent on the Federal government that it’s ridiculous. Just remember the ‘controlling’ words “The powers not delegated to the United States BY THE CONSTITUTION, nor prohibited by it to the States, are RESERVED TO THE STATES respectively, or to the people” Amendment X

I could not agree more. This article and your comment are strong testament to the fact that the Enumerated Powers Act should be signed into law as soon as possible.

Libs just want more money to squander on the obstruction, never ending investigations of the president ,to squander on illegal alien sanctuaries, to further the homo and trans agendas, and to further weaken this country in the world. Libs are idiots with money and squander it on every petty desire they have just like the dim wits in the DNC, the party of the demented national crazies.

What about the money squandered on Trump’s golf trips and other unnecessary travel, not to mention his ugly wall. Trump wants to establish a new nuclear arms race. This country already has enough weapons to destroy the world many times over. The purpose of government is defined in the Preamble of the Constitution and one of those purposes is to “promote the general welfare”. Trump should help the American people. He should stop raising costs for consumers and business by his tariffs and trade wars and he should stop cutting off export markets of American farmers and manufacturers. He should stop praising foreign dictators and murderers such as those in the Philippines No. Korea and Saudi Arabia and stop giving aid and comfort to bigots and racists..

Do you ever take a vacation or have hobbies that you like for R&R or just for fun? What would you do knowing that Russia is building up nuclear arms again Mr. Harvey, and no way to stop them. I don’t see the cost of goods going up from tariffs. Trump has cut a lot of unnecessary aid to foreign countries Mr. Harvey. What closet have you been hiding in Mr. Harvey? I see Jobs and more Jobs being created along with a rise in wages. President Trump is just the man we needed in Washington. Hopefully he will clean the swamp, and we the people will stop voting far left liberal Democrats out of office.

When the Military has money to give away, they must not need it so why not cut the budget, there hhas always been massive waste in the Military, so, let them pull their belt in. We at present and for the last almost 80 years have been the mighitest military in the World, it did not decline under Obama as some are trying to lead everyone to believe, any change in the Military as far as equipment and supplies takes years to procure, look how long we have been waiting for an airplane after the contract is signed and look at how long for a ship, longer than a Presidential term if they stay 2 terms. There are those that want to make other s believe that we are not a mighty Military until Trump took over, just show me the first piece of equipment that Trump has ordered and gotten, nothing changes very quickly in the Military or industry.

The Democrats are Socialist and Globalists. They consider themselves Citizens of the World and U.S. Citizens as an afterthought. Beginning during the Obama Administration little by little they began pulling the masque away showing in bits and pieces their socialist beliefs. With President Trump’s winning in 2016 they have dropped all pretense of hiding who and what they are to the point they might as well call their party what it truly is, “The Democrat Soviet Socialist Party” and slap that Hammer and Sickle brand on their mascot’s rump. They are the enemy within, the American Bolsheviks and their goal is to unite all of North and South America into one Democrat Soviet Socialist Union of America.

We Americans are dealing with a Sickness that is called Socialisum ware the young people are lazy good for nothings that refuse to work. They want to government to pay them to live. Well I have news for them, The United States of America was formed by strong hard working people with pride in their hearts and the love on their family’s and with the stregth and understanding that is what made The United States Great. Nothing is free in this world and we all need to work to acheve wealth and freedom. Thanks to our Men and women in our Armed Forces that fought and died that gave that right to all Americans
