Deficits? Lets Start With Defense Cuts

I really can't say I disagree with anything in this article.

The Republicans are so disingenuous when it comes to deficits. If they were really serious, then why not a constitutional amendment allowing for a balanced budget? Of course not, where would all of the Pork flow through? They have held the country hostage for decades by stating that if you are in favor of defense cuts you are against defending America. All the while the money flows to secret bank accounts outside the country.

How in the world Obama has omitted cuts in defense spending is beyond me. It just further illustrates how captured he is to the politics of DC. Democrats are so scared of being labeled soft on defense ahead of mid term elections.

"The freeze will also exclude spending on entitlement programs like Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. As a result, administration officials anticipate the spending freeze will save $250 billion over 10 years — a little more than a third of last year’s defense budget alone."

"Its absolutely ridiculous to think that we’re going to cut things like education and spend money on nuclear weapons and programs that don’t work, are faulty, have been faulty for years and continue to waste money."

I couldn't have said it better myself.
