Ruh roh! My contractor job supports the military and I’m a reservist!
I hope his cuts don’t hit me on both sides. We can spend 1 trillion dollars on condoms, STDs, abortions overseas, a ton of pork, but we can’t afford our military.

Here we go. Cut Defense but spend BILLIONS on all kinds of idiotic social engineering “programs” under the “stimulus” Package.
Absolutely need to cut down on waste and inefficient spending but we all know this will go way beyond that.
To: ladyvet
Dont worry about the friday night release. He has already tried that and it aint working cause he is toooooooo much of a rock star. Nuttin gets buried. Rush, Sean, Beck, Malkin, Coulter, and many others are taking care of that. Dobbs will even be all over that one :)

To: Norman Bates
As much as I support the military, I don’t think there is one department that can not withstand some cuts. There is waste within the military. Some of that waste is misappropriated dollars to support covert operations. I want that, since the liberals fight against it so much, we have to do something. But there are other areas where we could save our tax dollars and not infringe on national security.
They could leave the appropriation the same and just cut the waste, then they could use the money saved to spend on protecting our troops.

It’s a late Friday announcement. That means it’s BAD.

You just knew this was coming...he insasmuch telegraphed it during the election. The military-hating Left must be rejoicing.
To: Joiseydude
That is what the American public wanted.

While what you say is true I am asking which other departments will be cut 10% by this administration. I’m not holding my breath...

I can imagine Zero telling the Defense Dept.: "You guys are spending too much on paint! We are not running a
Home and Garden Network, we are trying to save some money on more important things. As of today, there will be no more use of paint!"
I have a suggestion for Defense Secretary Robert Gates: Tell Zero that we need a 10% increase in military spending!
Any cuts in military spending are a signal to our enemy to attack the United States and our allies.
