A Responsible Fiscal Would Look Everywhere 0
United States military spending is almost half the federal budget. It should be scrutinized as carefully as any other portion of the budget.
The Boston Globe:
Kenny Golden, who is running as an independent against Democratic Congressman Glenn Nye and Republican Scott Rigell, is not a responsible fiscal. According to The Slant, his budget plan exempts defense spending completely (it also is arbitrary and capricious, mandating cuts without reference to usefulness or efficiency, but that’s another issue).
From his press release (emphasis added):
1. Cutting the budget deficit
• 2% annual budget cuts on each cabinet level department except the Department of Defense
• Consolidate or eliminate redundant federal agencies and functions
Then, again, Mr. Golden was a Republican until he jumped ship to run in this election. The public record of Republicans as responsible fiscals is clear. They talk a lot.
