Let's see here. 2010 DoD budget was roughly $680 billion, half of which would be $340 Billion. Budget for 2010 was somewhere around $3.6 Trillion with a deficit for 2010 was somewhere around $1.3 Trillion. Wow, cutting the DoD budget in half would not only not cut the federal budget in half, it wouldn't even eliminate half of the deficit spending. You can hear the surprise in my voice that the typical progressive hyperbole is long on outrage and short on facts yet again.LadyJazzer wrote: Cut the military in half?; cut the unnecessary boondoggles to create weapons systems the military even says it doesn't need?; Stop fighting unnecessary "designer" wars for the neocons?; Close all the unnecessary bases, here and abroad?; bring most of the troops home and stop wrapping yourselves in flags pretending that every encounter is somehow "keeping us safe" and "ensuring our freedom"?
Wow, that would cut the spending in half!
