The SecofDef and Administration knows what is going to happen around 2009. Social Security will start goobling up the other revenue in the budget and Bush's Medicare plan will take a big chunk as well. You can't support a world class military and massive social programs. As Europe and Canada shows the military gets the shaft because voters favor the government spending on them instead of the soldiers.
Unless I see massive cuts in our social programs then I see no other outcome than a massive reduction in our military and the ability to wage war. The Chinese will get everything they want if they just wait.
That's absolutely false...
