I agree with that.. Volaris Mar 2013 #1

I agree but what we need is more cuts to 'defense' spending. 50% would be a good start bowens43 Mar 2013 #2

don't let these fuckers weasel out of their half of the Sequester Pain. It's what the stupid thing was designed to do, now let it do it's dirty work, and watch the GOP crycrycry. The reason they ARE trying to weasel out of it is because if those DOD Contract jobs go away, they will have COMPLETELY destroyed for themselves the argument "Government Spending Doesn't Create Jobs".

And then they will have NOTHING. And they KNOW it.
