Ugh, how disgustingly large our military is. One of the senators suggested closing the military bases in Germany, Russia, and Japan since we aren't fighting Nazis, or Russian Communists. It sounded like a marvelous idea to me, but apparently the GOP still thinks that's a bad idea.
Also, there was another amendment to keep us from paying our UN dues (in effect, withdrawing the US from the UN) because 62 million to keep on good terms with the other first world country is bad, and we should instead keep them in fear with our massive (unconstitutional) standing army.

I fucking hate the GOP more and more every day.
