“Our military has been caught unprepared before. At the start of the Korean War, American forces lacked both anti-tank guns and effective infantry anti-tank weapons and had been equipped with obsolete 2.36-inch (60 mm) rocket launchers and a few 57 mm recoilless rifles. Americans died needlessly, and we nearly lost that war in its opening days.”
(Christian Josi – PJ Media) Fightin’ Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) was on fire once again recently, turning the screws on the Secretary of the Air Force to procure aircraft that actually work. You read that right — we are spending a ridiculous amount of cash on planes that don’t work….
Say what you will about the flamboyant Florida Congressman; this fight he’s picked with the Department of Defense on this issue is highly necessary. Gaetz deserves both credit and support for taking up this particular mantle.
Our federal government spent a staggering nearly $6.2 trillion last year, having taken in only $4.5 trillion from taxpayers. Because the government continues to spend trillions more than it has, it is high time for the taxpayers to take note and for more members like Gaetz to aggressively sound the alarm that we must slam the brakes on aggressive nonsense spending.
