For way too long the Defense Budget has been untouchable.
The Department of Defense continues to claim that it can’t afford to make
budget cuts as other government agencies are being asked to do. Really? Take a
look at the above chart to see just how much more we spend on defense than
other countries. This chart, which
was prepared by Winslow Wheeler of Project On Military Procurement (POGO), shows
that we are grossly spending more than all our perceived enemies combined.
The government
claims it’s not trying to be the world’s policeman, but it sure is spending like it
is. It’s time to start rolling back defense spending.
