Reducing military and Pentagon spending… a bipartisan plan
An actual bipartisan agreement?! With heated tea party protests and a slew of budget and spending reforms coming from left and right, both literally and figuratively, it seems extremely difficult to make a bipartisan decision in Congress. But a new proposed spending decrease by the Sustainable Defense Task Force may just be the answer to the country’s mounting financial woes and the bipartisan ticket to budget reform. The plan: reduce military spending by $1 trillion while still keeping us safe. But there’s a catch. There would be a reduction of 200,000 military personnel and cuts in research and other programs. Is this the best way to reduce spending and kick up our economy? Should job loss be the sacrifice for our fiscal woes? Patt talks with Rep. Barney Frank and Rep. Ron Paul, the two seemingly different congressmen who’ve pushed for this bipartisan budget reform. Is this the ticket to economic turn-around and will the military even agree?
Sometimes if you post comments on the article (linked above) they read them on the air. hint, hint.
