Didn't find anything on Google under "downsize", but found this on Fox;
"The Obama administration has asked the military's Joint Chiefs of Staff to cut the Pentagon's budget request for the fiscal year 2010 by more than 10 percent -- about $55 billion -- a senior U.S. defense official tells FOX News.
Last year's defense budget was $512 billion. Service chiefs and planners will be spending the weekend "burning the midnight oil" looking at ways to cut the budget -- looking especially at weapons programs, the defense official said.
Some overall budget figures are expected to be announced Monday.
Obama met Friday at the White House with a small group of military advisers, including Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Gen. James Cartwright, vice chairman, and Gen. Jim Jones, National Security Council chairman.
FOX News' Jennifer Griffin contributed to this report.
If you google Fox's headline, you will find little more than tumbleweeds and a few scorpions. The rest of the press has lowered the cone of silence on this one.
Sorry I didn't have a chance to look into this before citing it, been a very busy day.
well well well
so phony reduces spending to the military but increase funding for food stamps and WIC along with building more houses for those who cannot afford it or who are just too plain lazy to get a job
Since this idiot got in I’m eve stunned by his neglect for this country and all within two weeks
I talked to my mam back in the UK and she said they had not heard half of what has been going on and that she was disgusted that phony calls a Palestinian first and gives his first media address to the Arabs
Surely this madness has to stop
it’s all been about homo’s and their agenda, being nice to terrorists and sending money to Hamas along with sucking up to Muslims around the world
So cut military spending and give terrorists i.e. Hamas our money and the media have been blocking much of this out
