The Great hypocrisy of Republicans when it comes to national defense.

The Republicans make a great effort to increase spending on our military. Then they make a great effort to cut spending on things that keep us safe at home. Air safety, water safety, food safety, environmental safety.

What good is a strong military if you're dying from poisoned food, water, polluted air and natural disasters? Just saying!
