Your credibility will be enhanced considerably. There is no annual $500 billion cut, although perhaps that would be appropriate. We spend approximately $650 -700 billion annually on the military. The outrageous numbers you suggest have no basis in fact and significantly undermines your message. Please get your facts right before you publish your opinions Mr. Halsted.

Remember, even with these reductions we'll be spending more than all other countries - combined! We have increased military spending every year for 20 straight. Enough is Enough!

The sequestration deal was what the Republicans wanted in the first place. You'll remember Mr. Boehner couldn't deliver on a grand bargain. And after the Republicans walked away from a deal, he went on TV to say, "he got 98%" of what he wanted. He was very happy. The Republicans have ruined our economy and are stifling any recovery just to spite our president! Nice try, Mr. Halsted.
