1. Deficit hawks ATTACK!

Or, turn into deficit turtles because the money's for blowing up women, kids and houses. We can't feed or house our own citizens, but there's always lots of money for military adventurism, even if it isn't paid for. Will this time turn out any different? Will Republican animosity toward all things Obama trump Republican affinity for all things military?
