Originally posted by graphicgr8s SloMoe I don't know what you're looking at but all I've seen and heard is cuts in military spending with this new bill. Along with a TON of pork projects. I want those rose colored glasses you have. The clear glasses I have on really suck. All I see is reality.
If by "new bill" you mean the stimulus bill currently under consideration, there is no "cutting" there, with the exception of that introduced in the senate compromise in concert with republican senators (which is really not "cutting", but "not agreeing to previously proposed spending").
As far as the defense budget goes, the Obama administration has just released its initial budget proposal, and
here is a Congressional Quarterly article about it. As I said, the proposal includes an 8% increase in defense spending (war efforts excluded), and matches the Bush administration's forecast for 2010.
If "all [you]'ve seen and heard is cuts in military spending", methinks you need to update your information sources.
