“Panetta sometimes sounds more like a congressman representing the ‘Pentagon district’ than the leader of the world’s largest military. He regularly rails against the possibility that the Pentagon will have to absorb $500 billion in automatic cuts if Congress cannot agree on how to trim $1.2 trillion in government spending. Panetta spends most weekends in California, commuting home on a military jet at a cost of more than $800,000 as of this spring.”
