US defense budget could be trimmed by 1 trillion $ over the next 10 years

[Franzl]

How long till Hannity proclaims this is hurting our national security?  And McCain toolishly agrees?

And then they complain about the deficit?

It is hurting our national security. I understand some of the people here who want military cuts, but $1 trillion being cut from our defense is going way too far.

Explain why.

[Franzl]

The defense budget should be at least halved.

Or we can eliminate useless programs like social security and just cut out unnecessary defense measures. If you want to go that far, why not go after some of the social programs?

You don't think Social Security serves a somewhat better purpose than most of our defense budget?

[Franzl]

I'd probably oppose this being big on defense. Tackle the deficit by, modestly, raising taxes on the primary beneficiaries of that supply-side nonsense, I would

You seriously support keeping defense spending at its current level....really?
