We are looking for ways to cut an $800 billion dollar pentagon budget.
You have to cut something.

Let's start with getting the facts right...

Maybe we can get rid of some nukes... oh wait, this was opposed by all
those fiscal conservative Republicans.

"oh wait?" D'Plume? Still having problems with dementia?


Let's take d'Plume's $800 billion number and start closing bases in
Democrat districts and canceling defense contracts in Democrat
districts. If reducing the defense budget is what is needed and Obama
says we all need to share the pain, then the Democrats should be ready
to set the example.


We should begin cutting military spending by 10% each fiscal year until
we are at half the level we are at today, and then see what further cuts
can be made.

Agreed, let's start with bases and programs in Democrat districts.


Well, of course; if you started in the red states, "them thar good ol'
boys" would have to go back to stoking up the wood fires and cleaning
out the copper kettles and coils.
