Pork over Bullets

Chuck Muth says Congress cuts the budget, at the expense of the military:

“It appears that the House and Senate have agreed that the supplemental emergency spending bill will not exceed the amount requested by the President in an effort to avoid a veto,” writes a Hill staffer to me this morning.
“What they have NOT agreed to is removing the earmarks included in the Senate bill...

Now, apparently, the House and the Senate have agreed to keep the bill at $94 billion. But since the Senate refuses to give up any of its earmarks, that means some $14 billion is going to have to be cut from what is supposed to be “emergency” money needed for the war and hurricane relief.

Social spending is killing our National Security, and it is getting worse.
