What is Hillary's position on our bloated defense budget?

[Ichingcarpenter]

Thanks.............

[tularetom]

1. It isn't bloated enough yet

Would be my guess.

[BlueMTexpat]

2. Well, there's this

from last fall.

http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/hillary-clinton-commission-military-spending/2015/09/17/id/692130/

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton called on Thursday for the creation of a high-level commission to examine U.S. defense spending.

Speaking at a town hall-style campaign appearance in New Hampshire, Clinton said: "I think we are overdue for a very thorough debate in our country about what we need, and how we are going to pay for it."

[Ichingcarpenter]

5. Bla, Bla, Bla

she doesn't say really anything

does she?

[BlueMTexpat]

7. Did you really want an

answer to your query or did you just want to spew anti-Hillary b***s***?

How on earth would she be able to DO anything unilaterally anyway? How would Bernie? Would he just dictate that the DoD budget be reduced?

I don't think that will work.

[Ichingcarpenter]

9. What a bunch of garbage you sprew.

and cop out of the issue.

[BlueMTexpat]

11. Sprew?? LOL. Buh-bye!

18. A History Lesson:

Yes We Can: How Eisenhower Wrestled Down the U.S. Warfare State

[Ichingcarpenter]

24. Eisenhower's farewell speech had finally reached Mainstream consciousness.

to the American public in this past decade after 911.

"An alert and knowledgeable citizenry."

[Herman4747]

25. Yes, a fine point too, and a noteworthy video. n/t

[Ichingcarpenter]

28. The thing about that speech

Millions have seen it because of the internet

But never got much play on TV media.

[daleanime]

29. All that tells me is that....

it's another question she doesn't want to answer until after the election. But have a great day anyways.

3. Which direction is the weather vane poining?

[Amishman]

31. or how much money can find its way to her pockets

either way, her opinion is solely based on the most expedient way to enrich herself.

[SamKnause]

4. To increase it.

To invade and support coups the world over.

She wants to bring 'democracy' to the world.

Too bad she isn't concerned that we have lost our democracy in the U.S.

and it has been replaced with the type of 'democracy' she wants to spread

the world over.

[Ichingcarpenter]

6. I went to her site

and found nothing.

10. Here's how Republicans saw Democratic candidates on Defense Spending in 2008. Interesting

http://www.republicanviews.org/democratic-views-on-military-spending/

Hillary Clinton on Military Spending

Clinton has been under much scrutiny lately regarding her foreign policy beliefs. In the past, Clinton has often argued for, rather than against, increases in military spending. While most Democrats stood outraged in 2007 over George W. Bush’s increases in military spending, Clinton instead argued that they were not enough, and that more needed to be spent in the coming years. Perhaps for this reason, Clinton’s last presidential campaign received more money from defense contractors than any other candidate-including Republican candidates. She even fought to keep and restore funding for the few weapons systems that Bush did agree to cut during budget negotiations.

[Ichingcarpenter]

15. Well that was then but what about now?

As you can see................ Is this more of the same or does she have a new position?

[EndElectoral]

16. She always has a new position. It's called evolving. You have to ask is it politically self-serving?

[azurnoir]

30. could we call it political Darwinism?

[Ichingcarpenter]

34. political Darwinism

I like I said before the NAZIS never surrendered

The Wehrmacht did

Unless you go deeper on the goals of the global elite
We don't want to go there.

[VulgarPoet]

39. Sure, we can call it political Darwinism

and then rig a generator to Darwin's coffin, cause I guarantee you it'll spin fast enough to power the entirety of New York for a year.

[azurnoir]

40. Lol good one but if social Darwinism didn't do it. I'm not sure this will either

[BlueMTexpat]

8. Cite?

That may be your opinion.

[Ichingcarpenter]

13. Does she want to maintain it, increase it or reduce it?

Site please

[PoliticAverse]

12. Here's her campaign page on "National Security"...

https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/national-security/

[Ichingcarpenter]

14. I read it............ it says nothing.

Please go there and read it everyone.

[EndElectoral]

20. That's what you're going to get from her. Generalities.

[Autumn]

17. I think she said something about strengthening our military which to me means a bigger budget

but that was a week or so back and then another time I heard her say something about studying the defense budget. Who knows, she never really gives a straight out answer. But one thing I do know, it will get bigger under her. Wars and stuff like that.

[EndElectoral]

21. My guess is she would say -"stronger doesn't necessarily mean more expensive, just smarter"

Or some such political BS.

[Katashi_itto]

19. "WE HAVE NOT YET BEGUN TO FIGHT" Hillary invented that quote

[Ichingcarpenter]

22. Hey.......... I had an ancient relative that fought on

that ship.........

John Paul Jones was Scottish as were some of my relatives.

[Katashi_itto]

23. Nice! That is quite an ancestor to have! :)

Yeah Paul Jones stole that quote from Hillary.

[Gwhittey]

37. Eww he was a Commie

John Paul Jones served in Russian Navy later in his career. He is a commie!!

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

26. An increase in cluster bombs to show her kindly Abuelita side.

[Ichingcarpenter]

27. I first documented that clusterbomb vote on DU

where she voted with republicans and against dems.

[Ichingcarpenter]

32. Has anyone here smelled the putrid smell of war or death?/

I HAVE..................


I would be interested from WOMEN THAT HAVE.

Especially the war side.

[Ichingcarpenter]

41. Has anyone had someone you know die of aids?

And smelled the death

Or see Nancy or Ronald there when they went to the next shores?

[closeupready]

33. Not bloated enough, wimps!

[Ichingcarpenter]

35. To me its an issue be it Bernie or Hill

Fuck the Republicans we know their corrupted beliefs.

[closeupready]

36. Hillary's overlords make beaucoup bucks on warfare,

selling munitions, making bombers and such - don't think for even ONE SECOND that she will cut the military budget.

[Ichingcarpenter]

38. What does her CIA campaign manager think?

And nobody thinks Podesta is strange as an insider
on what the CIA thinks and does?
