The Pentagon Always Wins Posted by Michael Cohen

So apparently the President is preparing to announce at the State of the Union tomorrow a three year freeze on discretionary spending as a means of "signaling seriousness" about tackling this deficit. For the record we're talking here about $15-$25 billion a year out a more than $1 trillion budget. 

You got to love Washington; a proposal to signal seriousness on the deficit that actually does nothing serious to tackle the deficit. And just to show you unserious this proposal really is . . it exempts DoD, Homeland Security, veteran's benefits and somewhat shockingly foreign aid.

None of this should be surprising, because after all when it comes to cutting the deficit; the Pentagon always wins . . .

I think SOMEONE needs to use this SOTU as an opportunity to remember why he got elected so dramatically and overwhelmingly in the first place: CHANGE.

The people demanded a different game plan for the country and he still hasn't delivered it for us. This "spending freeze" is just a very transparent political stunt unless defense is in line for a big cut, which they've deserved now for quite a while.

Our defense budget is about nine times larger than China's and almost larger than the ENTIRE REST OF THE WORLD COMBINED. And Obama still doesn't think we can afford to slow down the flood of funding we pour into perpetrating violence in foreign lands every year? Where's the Obama I voted for?
