1. John McCain #lifelongfailure

Give it up, John. You got away with being a complete and utter failure/traitor most of your life, but you need to accept that you are going into history as one of America's most craven hypocrites.

2. Our defense spending is at an unsustainable point where it hurts national security itself

This fact is obvious given the terroristic actions of the GOP leading up to the debt-ceiling showdown in August.

3. It's currently a tad out of control imho:

5. +300

4. He can't take his vote back

If he thought it was an awful idea back then, he shouldn't have voted for it and/or worked hard to make sure his Republican colleagues actually came to a reasonable compromise with the Dems instead of acting like a-holes by making unreasonable demands.
:shrug: :nopity:

The military wasn't broke at 2007 spending levels and won't be broke in 2013 either, so I think we'll manage with less defense spending just like we have to deal with less (and more neglected) social spending.
