Obama’s proposals of spending cuts are usually for imaginary cuts in something that we were never going to do anyway.

Something like claiming a saving of $80 billion by not sending an interstellar mission to Alpha Centauri.

My friends who work at White Sands and Las Alamos are planning for massive layoffs, including one who has worked at Lockheed for 26 years.

My nephew’s basic training at the Great Lakes Naval base was cancelled midway and all the basic trainees were discharged from the Navy.

I wonder how many millions were expended in recruiting and training this group.

I apologize to Naval personnel, I don’t know what not-yet sailors are called, so I labeled them basic trainees.
