Report cites Frank's proposal to cut military 25%

President-elect Barack Obama raised questions during an election campaign stop in Colorado Springs when he asserted the U.S. needs a "civilian national security force" that would be as powerful, strong and well-funded as the Army, Marines, Navy and Air Force, but few of those questions have been answered.

But now one report is proposing a possible solution for part of the equation: From where would the money for such an organization come? Democrats in Congress now are floating the idea of cutting U.S. military spending by 25 percent, or $150 billion a year, and according to a report from blogger Jay Tea, that could be used for the new "security force."

The idea to cut the military, proposed by Rep. Barney Frank, already is being opposed by Republicans.

Frank, D-Mass., recently told a newspaper the Pentagon will have to start choosing the cuts from its weapons programs because he wants to slash more than $150 billion from the estimated $607 billion in defense spending already approved for fiscal year 2008.

Sen. Roscoe Bartlett, R-Md., argued America now is fighting terror worldwide, including active wars in Afghanistan and Iran, and that has stretched the capabilities of the military already.

He warned cutting funding in such a drastic way would be irresponsible.

"You know if we don't make the right decisions about the military nothing else will matter will it? Because if we don't have a free country then you know what do these other programs matter at all? That's the number one responsibility," he said.

The blogger, however, saw the plan linked this way: "Representative Barney Frank, apparently not content with his role in wreaking havoc on the nation's financial system, has announced that he will push for a 25 percent cut in

Not to mention the convicted felons who are black and have a huge chip against society having authority and guns to terrorize.

It’ll be like Zimbabwe all over, only here.

In the past, the United States used to be the place where everyone wanted to be evacuated to. Where the heck is anyone suffering going to go?

I wonder, will they wear black shirts or brown shirts? Or given the acceptance of Barney Frank, rainbow colored?

I reckon a good many of them will end up wearing ropes.

Could this "civilian militia" be a ploy to satisfy the 2nd amendment & still remove the individual's right to bear arms?
