Sorry if the military is bearing the brunt of the cuts, but there are two easy answers to that. First don't send our military into every conflict that doesn't affect us at all - like Syria. both sides hate us. Who cares if they kill each other? Second put pressure on the government to allocate budget cuts someone else. It happened in '94 and in the late 90's the welafre roles decreased. Bus to some extent and 0 to a much greater extent opened up the flood gates to parasites. We CAN'T keep increasing spending, that will destroy our country more surely than any number of unwashed primatives with AK-74s.
Wonderful - but here is reality.
The GOP does not hold the Senate, nor the White House.
So what you want (and I want) regarding welfare and stopping that bleeding of our national treasure down the drain will not happen.
The military is being cut off at the knees and being used as a political pinata, and that is immoral.
You don't take the one slice of our population, and the one institution, that has fought and given the most for our nation, and single it out for fiscal rape, yet exempt Entitlement spending from cuts.
The only real solution is a Bowles-Simpson "esque" plan via tax and spending reform.
