What that chart does not show is that spending on the military has been cut further under Obama. There are also two side to the Defense budget - its "real" budget, and Overseas Contingency Operations budget, which is used to fund wars like Iraq and Afghanistan. That has been cut even further (as it should), but the Democrats tapped that keg as "savings" so that their precious runaway Entitlement spending could cook the books even more.
Forbes says U.S. defense spending, measured against GDP, is near historic low
The DoD just took in $350 Billion in real cuts, even before the "Super Committee" failed.
Now, the Faustian Bargain the Republicans made will devastate the Defense Department.
One terrifying truth is now laid naked: entitlement spending is breaking the back of this nation, and a bunch of lazy, greedy Americans now suck at the teat at an alarming rate. And...they won't give up their addiction to direct deposit checks. Ever.
