Your graph proves nothing. You realize that $9billion is nothing but a drop in the bucket when it comes to defense spending, never mind the entire budget. Your graph proves nothing.

These minor cuts are insignificant and do not weaken US military. Please stop whining. That argument is old and tiresome. Whether it's a Republican or Democrat the government will engorge. Under Bush, it was less civil liberties and a larger police state. What was that new government agency, oh "Homeland Security." Got to love that agency every time one boards a plane! Don't forget the 43% increase in Federal spending Bush plowed into, while his cronies made billions. As the middle class continues to erode further, the right cry "Socialism" as if it's an inherent evil. There are benefits to Socialism, and there are benefits to Democracy, but one does not address the needs of all as a panacea. It's time to incorporate the two. Let Obama work to improve the middle class which bears the heaviest tax burden. Let Obama Reign!

President Obama is wasting far less money on an ill-conceived and poorly executed war effort when compared to Bush. Thank you for this graphic. It will help me demonstrate how the Obama Administration wants to spend money on Americans rather than explode our nation's debt with bogus war spending like the Bush crew did. End the wars and bring our troops home! No more of this short-sighted military machismo that's angered our enemies turned the world against us. As it should be.

Congress funds the military budget, so it just goes to figure, that every thing congress has a hand in, is not designed to run properly. Have you ever heard the term SNAFU? Situation normal all screwed up. But they don't use the word screwed. Congress did a bang up job with Viet-nam, 63,000, young men and women wasted, and do you think that money is spent on the soldiers? You kool-aid drinkers are a bunch of ungrateful, spoiled, socialist,that have the right to protest America, because it was paid for by the blood of our military. I wish all of you would move to these other countries, that you think is so damn great. Oh, by the way, congress was democrat, during viet-nam.

We have a communist president and communist controlled legislature now. It's time the massive coordination of communist efforts in all facets of American life be considered what it is, a deliberate plan instigated and controlled by some other country's foreign agents. Review Yuri Bezmenov's 1985 interview on Google video or You Tube. We should stop calling Democrats "Leftists". All Democrats, and some Republicans, break down into one of two groups: communists, or useful idiots. Let's face it. We have a communist president and communist controlled legislature now.

The programs that are to be cut are deemed unwanted or not priorities. For instance the multi-billion Presidential helicopters. The only politicians you will see object to this are the ones whos districts the cuts are made in.
