Bernanke says we risk deflation so there should be no COLA.
If the government wants to cut the defense budget then they should insulate the tents in Afghanistan & Iraq. Half of the war budget is spent air-conditioning the desert over there. Studies have proven that insulation would cut that A/C bill by 92% & save 1,000 US lives.
Just another case of stupid complacent government inefficiencies.
If we want to save $12 million per day we can bring our troops home.
Jus' a thought....
Insulation can save much more than your suggested $12 million per day by bring our troops home.
It cost $20 Billion & 1,000 US lives a year just to air condition the tents in Afghanistan. That cost US $54,794,520 per day. Insulation saves 92% off of that $55 million a day bill, saving US $50 million a day. I will take that savings over your $12 million every day.
We have troops in 130 countries. If we bring them ALL home the savings will be way more than your numbers.
