Just heard on FoxNews that Obama is planning on asking the Joint Chiefs to cut the defense budget 10%.
Unilateral Disarmament means transfer of arms from national to international control. One World.
You and I are on the same page on that one. I feel the same as you. Unfortunately it don’t work that way.
Care to state exactly where those cuts will be made?
Donald Rumsfeld was crucified for making the totally truthful and factual statement that “you go to war with the army you have-—not the army you might want or wish to have at a later time.
Obama will guarantee we go to war (China, Iran, wherever) with the army we will have - ill equipped, undermanned, and looking for some poor Rumsfeld to blame for the problems Obama caused.
The good news here, if any, is that it gives conservatives one more campaign issue in 2012, like in the Carter years.
The bad news is that a lot of Americans in and out of uniform will die for it.
What happened to Obama is not going to cut the DoD budget that stupid people fell for, supported, and voted for Obama.
The Federal Employees Union voters come to mind first and foremost who believed the snake oil saleman and gave in large numbers so ZERO could win and helped get out the votes.
Cut the defense budget 10% and it hurts a lot of people that build the new weapon systems and repair the systems already in the inventory. Back to Carter we go!
What does he do now that he is retired? Reality still hasn’t set in yet?
In an election the legitimate votes cast elect the person. In this case fraudulent votes were everywhere in huge numbers in some states that were fairly close. ACORN voter fraud was huge even hitting my State of Oklahoma.
The ad writes itself...
Open on a scene of our soldiers hunkered down in Iraq. Voice over describing their heroism. Then with heavy overtones “...The Democrats say there is not enough money for our troops. They think the money should be spent on... UNIONS, CONDOMS and ACORN. Democrats, they've made their priorities clear.”
So, wil there be cries of how this puts our troops in harm’s way by denying them upgraded Humvees and body armor?
**crickets**
As an old Fed, i always believed that any Department could take a 12% cut without hitting muscle. However, that does not say that one Department should take it while others become bloated. In these actions, the real effects of the voters idiocy will become apparent.
I am afraid that DOD has few friends in this administration.
As always, when a nation has bad leaders, the people pay in blood not the incompetent leaders.
I know.
This guy is worse than Clintoon
How about a 10% cut in White House personnel? Starting with....(fill in the blank)
I quit!
You stop procuring so many items that you don't need just to feed the machine, or pay off your defense contractor buddies. Stop destroying perfectly good equipment just to buy more. You push out some of the old admin guys who are just redundant. If they have to hide secret dollars through inflated purchasing, I understand, but not $50 billion worth. Trust me they can do the same as they do now with less. I am about as committed to the military as I can be without serving myself. Every military person I have ever known talks about the waste. It is endemic and it needs to be stopped.
Is it too early for impeachment since a referendum is not an option?
The tax system. The government junkie can’t live without the fix. 20 Million Americans should go to work and change their deductions to 6.
And people were worried that the Obamessiah wouldn’t make any spending cuts. See? They needn’t have worried.
I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that the timing of this leak is when Rush is on vacation all next week. I’m sure the Obamessiah has much more important things to occupy his mind than the whereabouts of Mr. Limbaugh.
Let’s just make sure that the 10% that’s cut are Union jobs. That would only be fair.
