Romney wants to increase the defense budget by more than 50 percent over current levels

39. I don't think how Romney wants to increase the defense budget is the way I want to...

Mitt W. Romney's first problem is he is talking about changing the dates and a few numbers on the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981. Any sober analysis of the aftermath of that bill will show that it increased unemployment by 4.5 percent in its very first year, and that's not all it did. In fact, it worked SO well (to destroy the country, that is) that less than a year after its passage, the Congress forced Reagan to sign the largest tax increase in this nation's history--in percentage of GDP it has never been surpassed--to attempt to unfuck the American economy.

Seriously, guys, it would be very easy to increase the defense budget without buying any new ships, deathtrap airplanes or whatevers because thanks to running our equipment in the sandbox for the last ten years, all our tactical vehicles and most of our helicopters are worn out.
