Quote from Free Thinker:

you think. dont forget republicans have promised to increase defense spending:

Defense & War Spending Equal 94% Of All Federal Income Tax Revenues
http://dailybail.com/home/wake-up-america-the-real-us-budget-problem-defense-war-spend.html

In 2010, the US government collected $898 billion in federal income tax revenues. The same year, we spent $847 billion on useless wars and national defense. That means that 94% of all federal income tax revenue is equivalent to what we spend on the Pentagon. Who out there thinks it was money well spent?

Also, just to piss you off a little bit more - defense spending is equivalent to 443% of what we collect in total corporate taxes.

Romney Calls for More Defense Spending



MT. PLEASANT, S.C. — Standing among retired airplanes on the U.S.S. Yorktown, a decommissioned World War II aircraft carrier, Mitt Romney told a small group of veterans on Thursday that given the global threats to America’s interests, the nation’s defense spending should be increased instead of cut.

Acknowledging that waste and excess spending exist within the Defense Department, Mr. Romney still called for increasing the Pentagon’s budget.

Romney: I won't cut defense budget




Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (R) said Monday he wouldn't cut the defense budget if he's elected president.

Romney said he would be open to redirecting spending within the Pentagon's budget to ensure that it's more efficiently allocated and to eliminate waste, but he wouldn't cut the overall budget.

"I'm not going to cut the defense budget," Romney said in a question-and-answer session on his Facebook page.

"I don't care how much Romney is going to cut taxes and increase spending, the main thing is that he is NOT OBAMA! Obama is destroying our country with all his deficit spending!!"
