Alleging Republican 'blind eye' on defense spending, GOP senator proposes cuts

A Senate Republican fiscal hawk offered a 74-page menu of Defense Department spending cuts Thursday that could save taxpayers nearly $68 billion over 10 years. Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., said he and his staff had identified several categories of “non-defense spending at the Pentagon,” outlays which he said had “little to do with national security.”

He's right. Considering its > 1/2 the discretionary budget is spent on *cough* "defense" & is ripe for abuse (see: Duke Cunningham (R) [he's in prison BTW]) The Pentagon has been the Repubs golden goose for too long.

just abolish our military, you all know that's what you want anyway

Obama will protect us

 

[Oddball]

Been sayin' all along...The wheeling-and-dealing on the sequester is not about tax rates, but all about maintaining everyone's favored spending priorities.

 

[SniperFire]

Most of us have no problem with responsible military spending cuts.

$68 billion over 10 years is about like a rounding error.

Nonsense.

If the Pentagon can't wring $50 bil of waste and worthless projects like the JSF out of its $700+ bil budget, then they're not even trying.

If we were as weak and worthless as Paraguay or Kosovo, we wouldn't need a military.

Abolish the military, China will protect us.

Oh, the irony!

Republicans won't cut Defense Programs, Democrats won't cut Social Programs.

"Bi-Partisan" agreement will be reached to raise taxes and increase spending on both sides.

This is your Gov't.

 

[Truthmatters]

that is the same shit that will get you no where.

FYI you two: I served and live in an area rife w/ def contractors, so I have a little experience in this area as does Senator Coburn (R) so zip it!!!

Asswipe all the entitlement money blows away DoD spending.

So....show us where entitlement money is mentioned in the US Constitution. The funding of the military is mentioned but I don't recall food stamps, Obamacare, welfare, etc.....

Shut the fuck up, you piece of shit.
