“The American people should reject the hype about so called defense ‘cuts’ from both side of the political spectrum. When the Obama administration calls for an 18% increase in 2013 military spending, those who propose a 20% increase portray this as a reduction! Even the supposedly draconian cuts called for in the ‘sequestration’ budget bill would keep military spending at 2006 levels when adjusted for inflation, which is about as high in terms of GDP as during World War II. It’s also more than the top 13 foreign countries spend on defense combined. Is there any amount of money that would satisfy the Pentagon hawks?”
