Oh really? When did Romeny specifically say he would cut education funding? Or is this just another assumption pulled out of the ass that was formulated from attack ads?

Also your logic is a little off there.
Well considering China's navy is expanding and improving at an alarming rate, new and upgraded ships would seem like a pretty wise idea if we were to find our selves at war with china in the near future. These costs wouldn't put the economy in no more of a hole then the auto industry bailouts did and atleast this cost would be reasonably justified seeing that some auto companies avoided bankruptcy with out even needing government assistance (Ford).

Basically what this could mean is that since cars use a crap ton of oil and metal then we should just get rid of them too. Of course creating and managing ships and other military expenses would use up natural resources but they would barely affect the prices of these resources; I mean it's not like we are producing millions of ships. Also to say that the navy doesnt have the man power to build ships is insane. For one, typically now a days most government equipment and vehicles are produced by private military contractors or other companies in the respective industries. The equipment is just inspected and regulated by the military; they don't physically build the equipment and weaponry themselves.
