“Isn’t it a little late for this, Senator Kyl? Why did Republicans cave on defense cuts during the “debt ceiling” debate. “
Good point. If he goes off and supercommittee does nothing, cut happen.
Also, we NEED TO CUT SPENDING. All of it. Everywhere. DoD included.
“Was it because of Tea Party pressure as well as Democrap pressure?”
No. Reid wrote much of the bill with McConnell it must have been his idea.
But the GOP has to stop being addicted to DoD spending. Our national security will be meaningless if we are in hock to the Chinese. So balance the budget by cutting spending is 100% necessary.
Well said. It is no longer a department of defense. It is better described as a super-bloated and overextended department of world policing.
