As opposed to "lower taxes to the wealthy, and spend" warmongers?

As California continues to grapple with the spate of terrible wildfires - and new reports that some residents will face hardships for weeks to come, including polluted air, no electricity and no drinking water - it's time to ask if the interminable war in Iraq depleted resources that would have helped the firefighting effort.
Like every other state, California has experienced a sharp diversion of its National Guard and major equipment shortages that Guard officials themselves have said hinder their ability to respond to a major disaster.
The Chronicle reported that the Guard was missing about $1 billion in equipment, including scores of military trucks and Humvees that could be used for transport. Guard guidelines recommend having 39 diesel generators and 1,410 Global Positioning Satellite devices, but there were none on hand, the Chronicle noted.
Another reason for making those tax cuts permanent, huh?
