Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

Peg...when will either party reduce defense spending? The last President to seriously try was Carter. After the failed rescue in Iran he was blamed for gutting the defense budget and by association causing the disaster. The result was higher defense spending. The rhetoric on defense goes on year after year without change. It's Obama and the democrats big chance to make a real change.

I doubt that the administration will propose any serious cuts in defense spending.
