| The Biggest Threat to Aircraft Carriers is Not Russia or China |
| 2021-08-28 |
| [National Interest] Here's What You Need To Remember: With the federal deficit growing, the military is likely to see some lean years. Is it worth sacrificing some F-35s and aircraft carriers to trim the federal budget deficit? That’s one option on the table, according to the Congressional Budget Office. The CBO estimates that if current spending continues, the $779 trillion deficit in 2018 will double to $1.4 trillion by 2028, which means the share of GDP eaten up by debt is soaring from 3.8 percent today to 4.8 percent. With numbers like that, hundred-million-dollar warplanes and $13 billion aircraft carriers become tempting targets for the budgeteer. |

| #6 Looking on the bright side, the biggest threat to aircraft carriers is something other than Navy ship drivers. |

| #4 Instead, how about deporting illegal aliens instead of paying them to live here? And then you could let our people get back to work so you don't have to pay rent and healthcare for them and stimulate them into buying plastic crap from China? Then they could pay taxes to Uncle Sam instead of getting stimulus checks from Uncle Sam? Am I making too much sense? |

| #2 Eh... 779 + 779 = 1.4 ?? Must be Common Core (or Federal Budgeting) mathematics. |

| #1 ...don't leave out the senior Navy 'leadership' that can't seem to build ships anymore. |
