White House: Obama to lay out spending plan - Yahoo! News
This is one of those topics that I simply don't understand. Our government nearly shut down because the politicians fight over how much to cut from the poor, retired, and disabled. Why is it I never hear a single politician say "Hey, let's look at cutting the budget of our biggest expenditure - the defense budget!"
In a real budget, you look at your biggest expenditures first for the biggest savings. But somehow, our military and defense system has become a sacred cow. So what if they lob million dollar missiles into Libya like a spoiled child tossing aside familiar toys. Come on!
