Romney has said he will raise military spending by two trillion. Obama think Drones are awesome!

Do Americans think military money doesn't count? If Romney is elected where will this 2 trillion dollars in spending come from? How can you lower taxes, raise military spending, and cut a deficit? If you build more ships for the navy what will be the net yearly cost of having those ships deployed? Does Obama think he can fly around the world dropping bombs and there will be no consequence?

I love how Americans felt the last debate wasn't important then they bitch about government spending, here is what the government spends on "security"

$531 billion per year base
$115-billion for overseas contingency operations
$125-billion on 22 million veterans
$49-billion for separate retirement funds and sundry activities
$42-billion on homeland security
$22-billion for foreign military sales and aid
$18-billion broadly on nuclear programs
$58-billion interest

total: $960 billion, $2.63 billion a day

And Solyndra is only news because they didn't get a military contract, do you know how many companies have wasted billions of tax payer dollars on failed war technology.
