    “BUT how would be pay for all of that ???” Which, not surprisingly, doesn’t ever get asked when the DOD’s budget gets increased annually.

      Yeah, that used to work, until they learned to say “We’ll just take it from the billionaires,” and everyone said “Okay, that’s perfectly acceptable.”

      Now all they can do is scream “SOCIALISM!” and people are starting to think THAT sounds pretty good, too.

      They’re losing their rhetorical weapons quickly, and that arsenal was pretty low to begin with.
