The Defense Budget is 4% larger than last year’s budget.

The simple reality is there have been no massive cuts in the Defense Budget under Obama.

There’s going to be massive cuts in PROGRAMS because so many procurement programs are ridiculously over budget, and so much money is going to expansion of the troop strength of the Army and USMC.

But these program cuts would have happened under McCain as well.

I know that’s not what people want to believe or rant about, but it’s the simple reality.
