| #4 They've been doing "More with less" for so long they can almost to anything with nothing! |

| #3 I don't know if there was a military installation anywhere that didn't have the sign up: "I've been doing so much for so long with so little that I can now do anything with nothing." The Carter years were bad, but things didn't actually improve until Reagan's second term. The Clinton "Peace dividend" cuts left us unprepared for fighting the two wars we're currently engaged in. The world is a dangerous place. It's even more dangerous when you're unarmed, and your former allies don't trust you to follow through on what you say. |

| #2 Worse than Carter. Barry's deficits are an inversion of the GOP "starve the beast" strategy: when service on the debt eats up a third or more of the budget, it's inevitable that defense spending will be slashed. To the bone. Skeptics of the above need look no further than Cameron's government across the pond. And he's not even a military-hater like the World President Wannabe. |
