Nix DoD cuts

say John Howard Johnsons Boehner and the Demopublicans: 

"Top congressional  Republicans, Democrats and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta are united in a single message to the special bipartisan committee looking for ways to cut the deficit: Leave military spending alone.


House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, told reporters Thursday that the Pentagon budget was cut more than enough in the debt accord this past summer by President Obama and Republicans.


That deal calls for cuts of $350 billion in projected spending over 10 years. The Pentagon is planning on reductions of about $450 billion.


“I would argue that they’ve taken more than their fair share of the hits,” Boehner said.""



His comments echo the argument made by others lawmakers as well as Panetta, who in recent speeches and congressional testimony insisted that the Pentagon be spared further cuts.""


Let's not forget that most CA Blue Dogs love the DoD slushbucket as well. Drone-shekels even get Nancy Pelosi's panocha juices flowin' (fact check it yrself, Rube)
