> "A careful look at the budget-cutting proposal offered by the GOP reveals several points. One, even if it were adopted in its entirety, it would cut spending by only $250 billion a year, just a quarter of what is needed to close the deficit. Two, the bill plays into the hands of the Democrats who largely placed the Republic at such financial risk over the past two years and then left the mess created to be cleaned up somehow by the Republicans.
First I don't think military spending is a 3rd rail at all.
Second the only reason Dems approved Republican military spending was
out of fear of being labeled unpatriotic and unAmerican by Republicans
repeatedly demanding the money multiple times in the first place.
I believe many Tea Partiers will endorse military spending cuts
despite Republican disapproval, and that is a good thing.
But that said, the military spending ball is in the Dem court now and
they should take the lead in the issue instead of waiting to be led.
