I love it
when politicians say things like “we'll apply the savings from ending the Iraq
and Afghanistan wars to the deficit”. Um…funds
appropriated for those wars were not intended to be indefinite spending. You don't have any “savings” from ending
those conflicts. This is even worse than
her other argument, that we have “already” cut $1.2T. Again, spending avoidance is not spending
reduction. What does she really want to
cut? Nothing! No wonder every Republican proposal looks
like the “hard way”. In her mind, she
shouldn't have to make any hard choices.
Hey media,
any time you want to ask a remotely challenging question, have at it. Here’s one to get you started “What,
specifically, do you recommend we cut?
If you propose no cuts, do you believe the debt and deficit are
immaterial and we can continue spending 50% more than we take in each year?”.
