eliminating his cuts won't be enough to eliminate the deficit. not when he's increased spending as much as he has.
And cutting military programs like the joint strike fighter.

while increasing this death disbursement is a nice thing to do, i don't believe it's necessary. and quite frankly, military pay isn't sufficient to raise a family - both parents need to be employed.
And your point? Still means the mom or dad will be the sole worker if the spouse dies. The death benefit alleviates this problem.


When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, militarism and economic exploitation are incapable of being conquered
