Who would vote for increased Military Spending?

Postby Nukes Nukes and Nukes » Fri Oct 09, 2009 2:28 pm

I think that increased military funding and spending would be good for the world considering the current resolution that is being voted on. So, i think so- what about you? Your input is necessary if you would like to see a resolution coming up soon. Gatesville will vote for it, what else do you need? Please post, I would like input.

Having just come out of a civil war, which included an attempted military coup, Enn will definitely not be supporting any WA resolutions that promote greater power for the military. We have been cutting our military spending recently, we do not wish for that program to be reversed.

The United States of Philimbesi would actually not be in favor of such a measure as there is considerable waste in our defense budget as is. To the tune of about 3 trillion dollars.

Further you can't just issue a blanket resolution increasing military spending you have to say what that increase will do. Is it legal considering the other resolutions, are you investing in space weapons, or just buying all your troops a hot dog?

Meanwhile! Men aren't being paid, tanks are going without repairs and spare parts, bombers are going without repairs and spare parts, fighters are going without repairs and spare parts, trucks aren't being tuned, rifles, machineguns, pistols, etc aren't being repaired, less money is availible to procure ammunition, other vehicles are going without repairs and equipment, ships can't sail because there simply aren't enough budgetary resources, troops over seas have to fend for themselves when it comes to logistical supplies as too little money exists to fly in in enough supplies, etc, etc.

Care to rethink your expenditures? Logistics are rather hard on the ol' national wallet. :p
