Hi-tech fighter aircraft, new warships and missile defense projects are all potential targets for big cuts in the US defense budget, as the American military faces a new era of limits under President Barack Obama.
With a mushrooming budget deficit of more than a trillion dollars, the new administration has signaled it hopes to scale back military spending partly through a planned reduction of troops in Iraq and by taking the axe to big ticket weapons programs.

Increase the number of military personnel, but cut back the weapons systems that they need. The Leftist mind is a terrible thing to use.

We'll be decades trying to fix the problems. Meanwhile, if the attack happens during the next (presumably Republican) administration, they will accrue all the blame for "letting it happen on their watch."

So can we count the lost defense jobs against his rapidly shrinking claims for the number of jobs he’ll “save or create”?

BATBOY will get hundreds of thousands of our citizens killed before he gets done. He thinks if he can read it off of a teleprompter that the world will do as he asks.
What an ignorant stupid moron he has turned out to be.
You get peace by having a big well armed standing military ready, willing, and able to kick their ass if they start something.
You talk to them after they know that you can kill them. This kid has a lot to learn about how things work out in our big bad world.
One last incite. Our military men and women absolutely hate BATBOY. They look on him as a traitor. They have lost any and all respect for him with the full knowledge of his complete lack of experience with anything military. They fully realize that his military ignorance is going to get a lot of people killed within the next couple years.

The only consolation to driving this country into a brick wall at 80 miles an hour is that a Democrat is at the wheel.
Rump ranger House buffoon Barney Frank said the other day that the military budget should be cut 25 percent because the military is not a good economic stimulus.
