In reply to Lawmakers aim to stop Pentagon cuts if deficit panel fails

It would be nice if Obama would put the half nelson on Boehner/Cantor and say: you want to 'sustain' forces abroad, you don't wanna cut defense? Then fund it with a tax millionaires you two bit lying blowhards!

In reply to Lawmakers aim to stop Pentagon cuts if deficit panel fails

I remember reading a few months back lobbyists were busy crunching the numbers. Armed with a baseline value of 50% reduction in the DoD budget, if the Super Committee (SC) came up with a number greater, they would lobby enough congress critters to make sure the SC budget would go down in defeat in Congress. To me, all this says is they are finessing their position ... the SC budget will go down if the numbers are over the baseline and Congress isn't allowed to make changes to keep the DoD budget porked up. Same turkey, just dressed up to make it look more innocent.
