Do yo...Domestic spending has been cut to the bone? Do you mean state budgets, the ones that can't print money? The federal budget, including the military, has nothing to do with that. <br /><br />And you apparently don't remember the military budget cuts under Carter or Clinton. Carter butchered the military budget. Clinton just used "the peace dividend" and the cuts weren't horrible.

The problem is that there is NOT an "Instead of just cutting the military budget...." The military budget is HUGE because it is a sacred cow with monied interests sucking our treasury dry.....<br /><br />Domestic spending has been cut to the bone and instead of laying off teachers, fireman, police etc the Pentagon has GOT to learn to budget, have responsible accounting and stop doing back door deals that make a few folks very very rich....Star Womanspirithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09851972708434732223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30821890.post-81998526388137283002010-07-12T10:29:56.268-04:002010-07-12T10:29:56.268-04:00Repeal the "stimulus" packages and you&#...Repeal the "stimulus" packages and you'll save trillions. Kill the bailouts and you'll save more. <br /><br />Just think that if a tax holliday for one year....no taxes at all on anyone, we would be 2.5 trillion in deficits....but we would have probably 2.5% unemployment. Now we have, substantially, 15-19% unemployment and a 1.5 trillion dollar deficit, that is projected to continue for years.<br /><br />Instead of just cutting the military budget, lets put the ENTIRE budget on the table and force Congress in debating what stays and what goes.Cargosquidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15109858929179841075noreply@blogger.com
