The New Defense Budget (talkingpointsmemo.com)

there’s simply no way for the Pentagon to productively absorb that scale of resources on that timescale. Again, almost a 50% increase on a budget that is already massive in absolute and relative terms. If you think about what that scale of diversion means, you still won’t really quite grasp it, just as I’m not able to fully grasp it.

So who are they going to levy war against?

Voters.

I mean, last time I checked the kids in cages can't vote yet. So its more than just voters.
