If so, then I will approve spending increases for the military.

The military is the most legitimate and most important of all spending categories, and I would still cut it, as part of a larger effort to cut every other government spending category. I would be fiscally conservative toward all spending. I will cut my favorite programs: will you do the same?

If you are only "fiscally conservative" toward the military, or toward other GOP-favored programs, then I say, if we are going to destroy our nation with debt, we might as well do it with spending I like (important, nation-beneficisl spending, IMO) than with spending you like.

So, what say you? Will you join me in being a fiscal conservative with regard to all spending? If not, then I won't criticize the request for more military spending.
