Yglesias Calling
Sullly rails against this Cheney moment on Hannity last
night re:
cutbacks in the military:
He would much rather spend the money on
food stamps than he would on a strong military or support for our troops.
By writing:
So a former vice-president is out
there, saying the president prefers to spend money on food stamps than on
“support for our troops.”
Of course such a notion is completely
absurd, it’s just right-wing batshittery. But when you remove yourself from
jingo-ism or “of COURSE we need more troops!”, is a president in fact doing
such a thing that crazy? After all, it’s not like we’re still not going to be
the biggest army in the world, and what’s more likely to actually happen: a large terrorist
attack, or people needing food to eat?
