I know what the article says, but you are arguing AGAINST doing that. I'm defending the article. Did you forget how an argument works?
I'm not putting words in your mouth. YOU are the one who came into the thread saying that social program spending needs to be cut before military spending and that the military NEEDS to have the same level of spending since you implied that cuts will put defense contractors out of business. These are ALL Republican talking points. I certainly haven't heard any Democrats or third parties suggesting that rhetoric.

Well those people who defend what the current admin does, and it's cronies tend to be 'Democrats'.
I see alot of people who are very anti Obama and Anti demorcrat on this thread that seem to think that some cuts may be a good idea.

While US government keeps cutting on the defense remember that is one thing that keeps increasing also, the briberies I mean foreign aid to countries that are friendly to the US that has not been cut at all now under the Obama administration include known terrorist groups in the middle east.
The irony.

I figured Eurpoeans would hate when America cuts their defense.
Because it means they have to up their spending.
After all the last 60 years of EU outsourcing their defense to America is why their militaries have been small.edit on 24-2-2014 by neo96 because: (no reason given)

I don't know about that, because is not country in the EU that will do anything including wiping their butts without asking US to back them off first.
And not I am not been sarcastic this time.
