They have been given an offer they can’t refuse.

When you make your money from government, you support the government.

And what Honeywell programs are targeted for termination?

I’m sure we can make lots of military cuts. Do we really need to continue occupying Europe and Japan?

We could cut our military by 50% and still be #1 in spending. In fact, I’d be more in favor of cutting the military by 50% if half that money went into NASA

I disagree with cuts in defense spending, but the total of all of the other automatic cuts (in civilian spending) is much higher and needs to be done.

Honeywell strung me along for 3 months trying to get an answer to whether they were capable of performing on a specific task. They finally admitted the device of interest had been "acquired" and none of their staff knew squat about it. I'm not surprised that non-performers are angling for cuts to competitors.

Honeywell is probably looking for a Al Qaeda Outreach Program contract from Barry Benghazi.

As the military (and the contractors dependent on it) have become social engineering laboratories, I think less and less people care about cuts to spending.

The average person sees little benefit from their tax dollars being spent to house, clothe, and feed troops anymore while they can’t house, feed, and clothe their own families.

I am for cutting any useless government expenditure. We should not spend 1 cent more on the military than we absolutely need to.

The best defence is a strong economy.
