Isn't this typical Republican hypocrisy?  Lower taxes and squander money on the military all the while ringing your hands about deficits. The solution? As always, find it on the backs of the disadvantaged - the very people, who if you gave them a cent to spend, will spend it, will spend it locally and will help the economy far more than those who just  sit on tons of wealth from corporate indulgences, or spend it on exotica somewhere else.
