Of course they would. Please remember that it has been the Republicans who have supported massive and unfettered spending by the military industrial complex–including unbelievable cost-overruns–for decades. The same people who decry waste and abuse in social service programs turn a blind eye to wasteful and even fraudulent spending by the Defense Department.

He had the support of his democratic president and the republicans too. Harry saved lives because a certian aircraft builder was caught shortening the fighter planes wings a foot or so, which would have destroyed its flying capabilities.
Such a commission wouldn’t stand a chance in today’s congress. Even the Republicans would shoot it down.
I imagine the hurricane Sandy bill could have been a third its size. The waste wrote into the bill consumed every penny of the tax increase on the wealthy they just passed.
The ‘Reagan democrats’ were really the Truman democrats who got pushed from their own party.

It is manipulated and controled by a Prison Industrial Complex that every major public union organization feeds into. The schools, with their school policing force marks children as trouble makers from their first day kindergarten. The police with their war on citizens over drugs, code violation, dog license, jay walking, or sitting on a stair step in Long Beach. The politicians passing hundreds of restrictions on the freedom of Californians every year. Our courts processing their human product as if chattal slaves to the state. And a system of prosecution that would have made any totaltarian thug elated at the number of convictions through shear terror.

We are being led by evil people, in control of an evil system of justice.
