Why? Are we in imminent danger of a foreign country overrunning us on our soil, and stealing our treasury? (I think we do still have some gold in Ft. Knox)

When the Air Force tells Congress, "No - we do NOT need that fighter jet", but Congress funds it just to provide a fat government contract to their buddies - that's wrong.

It's wrong, if we have to cut money out of our budget, to do it by cutting food from the mouth of starving Americans, to fund fat private corporate profits. It's wrong.
