Today in The Nation: Cut the Military Budget: "Barney Frank Americans are far more threatened by cuts in Social Security and Medicare than the cancellation of ineffectual weapons systems.
It is possible to debate how strong America should be militarily in relation to the rest of the world. But that is not a debate that needs to be entered into to reduce the military budget by a large amount. If, beginning one year from now, we were to cut military spending by 25 percent from its projected levels, we would still be immeasurably stronger than any combination of nations with whom we might be engaged.
