Congress man on TV: Hate to Cut Defense Budget
MSNBC--- Matthews---

SC Congressman says that he hates to cut anything he likes.
Meaning he likes cutting things he doesn't like.

He doesn't like cutting defense budget because he likes defense spending.

Then he says that he wants to cut Medicare and SS.

This asshole told us he does not like Medicare and SS.

What kind of damn idiot does not like SS and Medicare?

1. a sociopath who thinks he'll never need to use it
and wants to enrich Wall Street by stealing from American Tax Payers.

3. I heard on Thom Hartmann's show today ...
... just the money that "goes missing" or is carelessly wasted every year is enough to pay a year of welfare for all recipients.

4. Easily
Hell, almost the whole country could retire on just what is wasted.

But I am sure this guy from SC likes waste so he'll be damned if he'll vote to cut waste.

Payments and credits to the sick and elderly? He likes to vote to cut that.

I can't believe Matthews gave the guy any credibility.
If it had been Matthews he'd have been swearing to never go on TV again.

5. and the first part of the defense budget that should be cut,
Is to move all the military bases out of South Carolina.

6. His painful "cut" to defense was to freeze spending at 2011 levels.
Yeah, we already spend more than the rest of the planet combined, Jackhole.
