Defense Appropriations Raided To Fund Teacher Bailout

Along with taking money from the food stamp program, the Democrats in Congress also quietly gutted billions that was previously appropriated to the Defense Department for such things as weapons and ammunition, armored vehicles, aircraft, missiles, new construction and more, in order to 'pay' for the $26 billion teachers union/medicaid bailout that was recently passed.

You'll find it documented here (toward the bottom in Title III).

Funding for SOCIAL SECURITY and The Dept. of Education help for students was also raided:

These cuts speak for themselves.
