To me the crucial signs of possibly fatal wooliness are the two items mentioned:

Killing the $ for helping Russia keep control of its armaments and.. subsidizing the workers needed for that task. If there could be an action shorter-sighted than this, I'd have to ponder long.

Can these allegedly 'experienced' gray men posssibly fail to see the absurdity of this penny-wise and kiloton-foolish choice?

I fear that they can. Look again and again at who is in charge, and his deductive capabilites.

And if 'our' congresspersons enable them to defund these items - will anyone notice, amidst the new cacophony?
