An extra $15 billion for the cash-strapped Pentagon (to add to the $5.6 trillion it already can’t account for).
I feel safer now.
But how much of that will go to raises for servicemen/women as opposed to contractors?

You are such an optimist, tiowally! 
“No longer will the needs of our military be held hostage by the demands for more domestic spending,” Ryan said.
Let’s recap, Speaker Ryan.
The entire mess that is sequestration came about when you, acting as House Budget Chairman, along with then-Majority Leader Eric Cantor whipped the entire Republican House caucus to oppose the hand-shake agreement between President Obama and then-House Speaker Boehner for a $4 trillion deficit reduction deal.
Instead, you and Cantor led a jihad that drove the nation to the brink of default, with your refusal to raise the debt ceiling – which had always been raised with a clean bill without preconditions or duress – to extract major concessions.
This irresponsible game of chicken with our nation’s economy, which led to the first credit downgrade in our nation’s history, was ended when the Obama administration agreed to the formation of a congressional super-committee that would identify solutions to your manufactured crisis. However, when that committee – predictably – concluded without finding a solution, across-the-board spending cuts in both military and domestic programs were imposed, which hampered our nation’s recovery from the worst economic collapse of our lifetimes.
So it was you who not only held the health of our military and domestic programs hostage, but also the health of our weak and recovering economy, first by manufacturing the debt ceiling crisis, and then with the imposition of the mindless across-the-board spending cuts under the sequester.
“No longer will the needs of our military be held hostage by the demands for more domestic spending,” Ryan said. “In my mind, that is what’s most important here.”
Yes, Rep. Ryan, because guns are much more valuable than butter. What an idiot! How many wars does he think we should be fighting? How many more service members should die in Afghanistan and Iraq? He really is a monster, and one can only hope he will not be Speaker of the House for too much longer. Lest we forget this hypocrite got through school on his Social Security survivor benefits. I guess that “domestic spending” didn’t impinge on the defense budget. He’s a true pig.
