Poem, you're an contra-actual idiot. Obama han
Post# of 65629
Obama handed off a far, far, stronger economy that he was handed by his predecessor.
The military has fought a smarter and less costly special-ops, drone warfare. But apparently the cruise missile inventory and the Navy were left in good enough shape to use.
And when the lasers and rail guns are deployed over the next 8 years, well we all know the lead time for that kind of shit. Really, you're just a helpless simpleton.

There are two main reasons for the spending drop. The first is the Obama administration’s decision to start removing U.S. troops from Iraq and Afghanistan. The second has to do with a process known as sequestration.

Sequestration refers to the framework for automatic, across-the-board cuts to both military and non-military spending that were originally designed to force bipartisan negotiators in Congress to strike a deal in 2011. When negotiations fell apart, the cuts went into effect.
The bipartisan nature of the sequestration provision means that both parties merit a share of the blame, experts say.
The most recent Obama budget proposed a 7.8 percent increase in the base Defense Department budget between 2015 and 2016. The spending bill enacted this fall puts the defense budget on a path to start growing in fiscal year 2016, up about 6 percent from the previous year
Obama has cut the number of nuclear weapons by a smaller percentage than any American president since the end of the Cold War, according to an analysis by Hans Kristensen, director of the Nuclear Information Project at the Federation of American Scientists Obama’s 10 percent reduction over six years trails even George W. Bush’s 50 percent..
