You can't say that. If anyone in congress hears you, they will cut the programs. We have to maintain a delicate balance where on one side

We have spent the taxpayer's money wisely and have a Navy sufficient to protect ourselves

Our potential advisories are building naval forces that will threaten us so we must have more taxpayer's money to build more Navy ships to be able to protect ourselves.

A delicate balancing act indeed.
