But that is the one item most Republicans won’t touch. They want to slash the budget not by ending the useless war in Afghanistan, and by eliminating unnecessary weapons systems, but by cutting education, health, and other benefits for the poor and working class.
讽刺的是，有一个领域的开支是必须进行大规模削减的——军事。但这一领域却是大部分共和党人不愿意触及的。他们削减开支的方式不是结束在阿富汗的长期战争，撤销不必要的武器系统，而是削减教育，卫生以及其他造福于穷人和工薪阶层的部门。
