Defense was already cut in 2009 and 2011, before Sequestration dealt the final blow.

Entitlements were exempt from Sequestration. Our wonderful friends, the "upright and moral" Democrats saw to that.

Only a very small portion of reimbursement to providers for Medicaid was hit - but zero cuts to all other Entitlements (including Social Security, Medicare, and the 70+ unearned Entitlements).

So, Defense has been "sharing the pain" - and too many in this nation have not, and still aren't.

This graph distorts the cuts and makes them look much larger than they really are. You don’t do your argument any favors by using such a plot.
