They say they care about spending but ignore DOD financial shenanigans, which implies it's not about spending and only about what they like.

has nothing to do with money, it's about destroying science and medicine

president burns $2 million in federal funds almost every weekend golfing https://DidTrumpGolfToday.com

he took $100 million from park funds for his own birthday party

he just ransacked the nuclear missile maintenance program for almost a BILLION dollars to refurbish a half-billion dollar plane which he intends to keep somehow despite wildly illegal under emoluments clause

Iran War spent a BILLION dollars a day and has to be restocked

US funds and supplies Israel 2/3rd of their entire weapons supply (while they have universal healthcare)

again, not about savings, about destruction of science and medicine

> US funds and supplies Israel 2/3rd of their entire weapons supply (while they have universal healthcare)

This is misleading.

Israel’s annual budget is $270 Billion, of which $45 Billion is military. US aid is around $3.8 Billion a year.

Preach, brother. I'm saying that the GOP frames the cuts as "saving taxpayer money" vs the obvious "we hate science because it consistently proves that we're lying to you".
