Did you hear about Obama's new deficit reduction proposal? Freeze domestic spending but don't include defense spending in the freeze. Is this 1983 under Reagan, or 1990 under Bush I? I mean, what the hell is the difference between a D and a R when they have the same deficit reduction plans? Freeze spending that can help improve lives at home and increase spending on reckless foreign wars. Obama is losing me on this proposal. I'm all for cutting the deficit, but the pain has to be shared. Enough of the welfare for the military industrial complex. It just goes to show how much power they have in Washington.

I am with you. If he doesn't freeze defense spending, then I am done. Afghanistan was bad enough but allowing defense spending to go up when we spend nearly as much as the rest of the world....that's just pure insanity.
