Navy is cutting or trying to cut 280 million dollars out of the budge. They are getting rid of base libraries and other measures. That story was about a week ago.
So the military has more needs than budget. Meanwhile Dingbat Nancy Pelosi is spending money by the TRILLIONS, when the Navy desperately trying to cut less than a BILLION.
According to AOC, Pelosi and other asses spending money automatically generates more money. So it begs the questions. IF spending money automatically generates more money, why not se that principle with military finding?
Same principle should work. The military spends more money, That money goes to contractors. Contractors spend money buying goods and services from other contractors or for their households. So why not spend money on the military?
Pelosi, Schumer and others are mismanaging the US budget on a massive scale. Toady general and admirals are too timid to speak up.

Look on the bright side. The navy may be unable to pay it's sailors. But at least there are NO DELAYS in the USA informing white sailors they all are racists who have benefitted from white privilege throughout their lifetimes.
