How much is that flyby costing America?

[Hawkeye-X]

That's a WASTE of millions of dollars doing a flyby on the All-Star Game!

Obama needs to seriously consider cutting defense to the bone and using the money to rebuild jobs, infrastructure, economy, tax cuts for the poor/middle class, education and more jobs!

So what if the Rethugs cry "WEAK ON DEFENSE" - fuck, we are #1 in defense spending, outspending the nearest country by over 800 billion dollars.

Cut it by 75%, and we'll still be #1.
