Ok let's do some forensic analysis here:

The answer was that they didn't have much of a choice. They absolutely had to increase military spending. Previous administrations had practiced policies of "containment" to kick the can down the road regarding Iran and North Korea. It's likely that the can can't be kicked any further. Military readiness is important.
to counter that, I have seen every single one of these congress members claim that the next step is entitlement reform. That and the economic growth will offset the extra military spending.
So it sounds like they're doing exactly what you're asking for wuf. It sounds like a solid plan to me. Let's see if they execute
Here's an early quote from banana taken more or less at random, with the stipulation that it had enough words to analyse.
1. Begins with a display of open shock at the other person's position, expressed in an obnoxious way - check.
2. Continues with a defense of R behaviour - check.
3. Signs of being politically aware of what's going on - check.
4. Fine spelling and grammar - check.
5. Manages to get through an entire post without being openly abusive - check.
Note the large amount of similarity in style between this and posts made by 'Thespoonald'
