Defense Budget Plan Would Cut Spending by Half a Trillion
January 27, 2012
But it also would increase the military’s base budget for four of the next five years. Savings come from winding down the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The Pentagon released a budget blueprint Thursday that cuts projected military spending by nearly half a trillion dollars, yet still calls for increasing the base defense budget in all but one of the next five years.
The proposal meets both goals because spending on the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq is dropping sharply, allowing the base budget — the annual cost of paying troops and buying planes, ships and tanks — to increase modestly, even while complying with last year’s bipartisan deal in Congress to reduce the deficit.
For President Obama, the apparent paradox of being able to cut and raise defense spending at the same time is potentially a political boon in his reelection bid.
To Democrats who believe the Pentagon is bloated and should do more to help reduce the national deficit, he can say that his budget would do so. To Republicans who say defense cuts will leave the country vulnerable, he can say he would be spending more every year except in 2013 — and holding the line against further reductions.

Comrade Obama will only cut govt. spending on the military; he wants to increase spending in most categories.
Isn’t it ironic that the military, the group that has given Obama the ONLY shining moments of his administration is the only place he can seem to find when he is comfortable making budget cuts?

Yes we did. Now Obama will spend it on the socialist types of programs he wanted to from the beginning instead of paying down the debt. if you think that his intention is to pay down our 15 trillion dollar debt bomb, fugetta bout it!

Hey cappy, the last I heard was that the chief of imposters wants to cut our military by 100,000 troops. Does this sound like disarmament to you? This clown has to be defeated soundly and sent back to Kenya where he started his miserable life.
@daves: Yah, and I don’t recall getting any thank you cards from those nations either…
Keep the drones and spy sats, take the 1/2 a year and pay down the debt until its ZERO dollars owes.
And, how safe will we be???
considering we spend more money on military then the rest of the world combined, we would still be pretty safe. need to close about 900 bases around world and defend americans in america, instead of pushing mutli-national corporation interest.
The Sunami is coming
2006 gold was $440.00 per oz. Today it is $1650.00 pe oz.
1650 / 440 = %375 INFLATION [as measured in Gold]
The worst part is, the part of the spending that they will be taking away from defencse,will probally end up going into their pockets somehow !!! Dr.Ron Paul 2012 !!!
Luke 10:18And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
In ancient Hebrew the word for lightning is barack, the word for heaven or the
heights is bama and to connect the words either an “a” or an “o” is used.
2 Thessalonians 2:3 (King James Version)
3Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there
come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
Political Correctness a term first seen in Mao’s Little Red Book, a communist engendered abomination that is instituting censorship little by little.

Matthew 12:31Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
In ancient Babylon their economy was based on usury.
“If you lend money to one of my people among you who is needy, do not be like a moneylender; charge him no interest. Exodus 22:25
Hath given forth upon usury, and hath taken increase: shall he then live? he shall not live: he hath done all these abominations; he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him. Ezekiel 18:13
Usury is unlawful; expressly prohibited by GOD!
Article 1 Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution clearly states that only the Congress can print and coin money!
The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 was slipped thru congress during the Christmas break with the majority of it’s members absent.
The Federal Reserve is self serving and privately owned in violation to the Constitution, charging interest on illegally printed money. Money printed from nothing!
In America On June 4, 1963, a virtually unknown Presidential decree, Executive Order 11110, was signed with the authority to basically strip the Federal Reserve Bank of its power to loan money to the United States Federal Government at interest. With the stroke of a pen, President Kennedy declared that the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank would soon be out of business. Five months later A UNITED STATES PRESIDENT, PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY was MURDERED BY COMMUNIST!

In ancient Babylon their priest sacrificed babies to their gods baal, and molech.
In America the communist under their socialist programs have sacrificed over 50 million American babies to their god satan!
Leviticus 20:2-5
2Again, thou shalt say to the children of Israel , Whosoever he be of the children of Israel , or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel , that giveth any of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones.
3And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people; because he hath given of his seed unto Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.
4And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and kill him not:
5Then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go a whoring after him, to commit whoredom with Molech, from among their people.
Luke 22:35-36 Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you without purse, bag or sandals, did you lack anything?” “Nothing,” they answered. 36 He said to them, “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.
Jeremiah 50:16Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handleth the SICKLE in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to his people, and they shall flee every one to his own land.
Jeremiah 50:23How is the HAMMER OF THE WHOLE EARTH CUT ASUNDER AND BROKEN! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!
BABYLON = the HAMMER and SICKLE!
Jeremiah 50:14 “ Put yourselves in array against Babylon all around, All you who bend the bow; Shoot at her, spare no arrows, For she has sinned against the LORD.

The politicians cut defense spending, yet KEEP all the entitlement spending, which surpasses that spend on defense, now! Of course, if they cut entitlements, they ensure they will lose the votes the louts and layabouts give to keep these politicians in power! Now you know why ONLY defense is being considered!
Well, Obama is NOT CUTTING the funding to his personal army. Obamacare is funding “Obama’s Personal Civilian Army” called the “Ready Reserve Corps”. It is authorized in section 203 & section 5210 on page 1312 in the “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA)” or “OBAMACARE”. Remember, during his campaign, Obama called for his personal Million Man civilian army to be loyal only to him. Obama also stated that his personal civilian army should be more powerful than our US Military. There is a clip of Obama saying these very words in the video. Watch the idiots applauding as Obama says this. Obama is right now gutting our military and at the same time beefing up his personal thug army. Watch This Short Video And Be Informed Of What The Nazi In The White House Has Planned For You! Please Spread The Word to our fellow Patriots! ALL OF THEM!
