mrstickball said: Cuts? Where? Its certainly not at the federal level. Some states are cutting back, but that is about it. Even then, the states cutting back are getting hounded by some insane factions. In Wisconsin, when Governor Walker broke up the public unions, the union backers came in and forced him into a recall election - they've spent tens of millions of dollars to try to get him impeached. |
This is my point, these Governments literally have no idea what's going on. What I suspect he was talking about was those baseline cuts in the reduction in the growth of the military budget... which, if you looked at in just dollar terms, probably does amount to larger "cuts" than what our Government has introduced.
I mean, what were the baseline cuts? Like 5 points over 10 years or something? That's probably something like $70-$80 billion (pulling these numbers out my arse).
