Dennis is correct. Here the GOP is cutting funding from the poor, the children, the old and the workers yet the Republicans and their corporation masters want ever ending wars and are pushing Obama into doing this. It's not right.

1. They will never touch war funding because their masters will not let them
The corporate masters who own the representatives and senators will not allow them to end the war or cut funding for defense.

3. "pushing Obama into doing this"
How, pray tell, are they doing this? Did they steal his veto pen?

4. Maybe we should fight
Like the kooky right wingers. They fight against using fed money for abortions, we should come back and fight that our money doesn't pay for war.

6. That is, if GOPers wouldn't have sent it all to the rich via further tax cuts.
But, yes, we would likely be economically better off. And those who died, or were mutilated, or have been mentally abused in those wars would clearly be better off.
