A panel commissioned by Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) is recommending nearly $1 trillion in cuts to the Pentagon’s budget over the next 10 years.
The Sustainable Defense Task Force, a commission of scholars from a broad ideological spectrum appointed by Frank, the House Financial Services Committee chairman, laid out actions the government could take that could save as much as $960 billion between 2011 and 2020.

Let’s just cut Obamacare and call it even.
Thank you Bwarney. How unexpected!
Geez, what a surprise. We’re headed down the European model. Welfare state at the expense of a cutting edge and strong military.

No point in reading further. The LAST person to go to for advice on any real world situation is a “scholar,” much less one appointed to the commission by that commie franks.
Limitless spending on everything, except defense. Liberalism is a suicide pact.
The Democrat Party: Gutting Our Military Since 1945.
Geez, thanks Barney, its always good to know the only thing the Fed does well should be cut to enable more spending on things the Fed does poorly. Like spreading the wealth around using mortgages. Sound familiar?
Our military is over-reliant on airplanes, ships, and bullets. /sarcasm
The primary duty of the Federal government is to protect the homeland, and they’re looking to gut it. Someone explain to me how this isn’t treason?

Hyeah, right. I’m sure he picked from the entire spectrum — everything from center-left all the way to revolutionary Marxist. Provided they were queer.
What a joke. This is Clinton and Carter on steroids and so very radically liberal. Hey Barney, you could have saved the money on the panel -— you and your boss are totally predictable. No matter what you destroy, your Marxist plans are unsustainable.
This sissified freak and his friends are gonna get many, many Americans killed.
By "broad ideological spectrum" they must range from leftist to foaming-at-the-mouth, stark-raving-lunatic leftist.
Surprise, surprise.
It's not a budget cut, it's a redistribution of tax money from one branch of government to another.
Who will safeguard European socialist states from invaders if we don't pick up the tab?
...and Social Actions, and MEO, and satellite TV in the dorms...
Thanks for your service, SMSgt.

Keeping a known agent of Al Qaeda in our military because of “diversity” dreams even when he boasts of wanting to behead the infidel at a conference is treason too.
So why don’t we know the names of those who kept him in the military inspite of security breaches and foreign allegiance to the enemy in a time of war?
