Look what survived sequestration: The jet that ate the pentagon
by digby
While we’re ruthlessly cutting programs for poor people and old people and kids, check out the 1.5 trillion albatross the defense department has “somehow” managed to spare. They each cost 200 million dollars ….
And why is it spared? Well … I think you know why. And it isn’t just because of the evil Republicans.
Sure defense department personnel are having to sacrifice parts of their paychecks and services at military bases are all being cut. But when it comes to really important stuff, every penny will continue to flow, no matter what. Priorities, folks.
