The Repubs have been screaming at the run away deficit that will occur if the Obama policies are enacted….they also have been yelling about the spending of the Admin…even some conservative Dems (hereafter known as coward dogs) are in the same audience about cutting spending……there is away that we can cut over a trillion dollars from the deficit….but none of the cowards will appreciate it…..

From an article printed in the Army times written by Rick Maze:

A speedier withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq and Afghanistan would shave $1.1 trillion off the budget in the next decade, a new congressional budget projection says.

That would be a sizeable cut in defense-related spending from 2010 through 2019, which the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates at $7.4 trillion.

The budget forecast, issued as Congress is about to return from a summer break and confront questions about budget priorities and deficit spending, says defense costs are uncertain because budget analysts cannot predict the number of deployed troops and the pace of operations.

The budget and economic update notes that Congress has allocated $944 billion so far for Iraq and Afghanistan operations — $849 billion in direct spending by the Defense Department, $51 billion for diplomatic efforts, $42 billion to aid Iraq and Afghanistan police and military forces and $2 billion to cover costs such as increases in veterans benefits and services.

That is how we can save or cut a trillion dollars from the budget…but unfortunately the hawks in Congress, the coward dogs in the House will have a stroke at the mere mention of cutting war funds…..but they have no problem condemning Americans to shitty health care….what a great bunch of Americans.
