Paul said warnings by Defense Secretary Leon Panetta about imposed tax cuts harming the military are "an interpretation." He told host Candy Crowley that military spending is set to rise 23 percent over 10 years and, if an accord is not reached, 16 percent over the same time period.

"There will be no cuts in military spending," he said. "We're only cutting proposed increases in spending, so spending is still rising under any of these plans."

I so like Rand Paul. He and Jim Jordan, head of the RSC in the House http://rsc.jordan.house.gov/ , are the only politicians to propose detailed balanced budget plans.

I hate to break it to Mr. Ron Paul, but there most certainly will be cuts to the military. As in about 10,000 USAF personnel, hundreds of fighters, and dozens of bombers and airlift. That’s just the Air Force, the Army’s cuts are much larger. Oh yeah, and that is WITHOUT the automatic cuts from failure to reach an agreement in the super committee.

If they don’t reach an agreement, those cuts double. The military will be gutted by about 23% in total combat capability and 9% in personnel. Can you say hollow force? Yes we can.
