#2 NEWSMAX > PENTAGON FACES US$28.0BILYUHN 2012 BUDGET CUTS, as part of greater US$350.0BILYUHN in USDOD CUTS = SAVINGS? OER NEXT TEN YEARS.

* YAHOO NEWS > US GOVT. SPENDING WILL [massively]INCREASE AFTER THE DEBT DEAL'S BUDGET CUTS.

ARTIC = "Most of the problem has to do wid the Language [Pol-GovtSpeak] of Washington..."

D *** NG IT, IN THE QUEEN'S ENGLISH, MORIARITY, FTLG IN THE QUEEN"S ENGLISH!

DON'T FORCE ME TO CONTACT 'CUZIN PARIS HILTON TO BORROW HER MIGHTY PENCIL!

[AL BUNDY, ARCHIE BUNKER, "KEYSTONE BEER" TV GUY here].

* IIRC POLIPUNDIT > THE GRAPH WHICH MAY COST PRESIDENT OBAMA HIS RE-ELECTION [Change in US Employment:Recoveries-vs-Recessions].

versus

* PEOPLE'S DAILY FORUM > US Senators Carl Levine, John McCain = Senate Armed Services Cmte.] WE HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH DEBT DEAL CUTS DEFENSE.

ARTIC = Also have no idea where POTUS Bammer gets the above-indic US$350.0BILYUHN figure as the Debt Deal only sets "Caps" for the
"Security" Budget + only for NEXT TWO YEARS [2013]???

versus

* DAILY MAIL.UK [long]> TAX ON THE RICH: OBAMA DECLARES END TO TAX BREAKS FOR WEALTHIEST AMERICANS AS DEBT DEAL FINALLY PASSES SENATE.
[massive increase in US Taxes].

* PEOPLE'S DAILY FORUM >[UK = Britain] THE DEFENCE FAILURE IS NOT JUST STRATEGIC, BUT POLITICAL. Uk Armed Forces are falling below their MINIMUM OPER UTILITY as per being able to accomplish their current + future taskings.

* SAME > IFF BRITAIN WANTS A SAY IN GLOBAL AFFAIRS, IT NEEDS MUSCLE.

So says UK, WORLDPOLITICAL-MILITARY HISTORY, so says ENEMIES, so says the AUTHOR + TELEGRAPH.UK.

Iff Britain wants to be a TOP-VS-MEDIOCRE EURO, WORLD POWER, ITS LEADERS SHOULD SAY SO OPENLY IN ORDER TO GARNER/MEASURE MAINSTREAM SUPPORT + EFFEC PLANNING FOR SUCH PUBLIC POLICIES.

IOW, LONDON = WASHINGTON, DC GOVT-CRITTERS = STOP HIDING IMPORTANT INFORMATION FROM THE VOTERS.

Contrary to popular opinion, REPRESENTATIVE/
ELECTORAL DEMOCRACY = does NOT mean YOUSE WERE DULY ELECTED TO PERENNIALLY HIDE THINGS = ENGAGE IN ROUTINE OR PERMANENT PDENIABILITY.
