Battle lines are being drawn in Virginia over the proposed defense cuts that were announced last week by Secretary of Defense Robert Gates. Members of both the House and Senate in Virginia are vowing to fight the cuts to the defense budget as it impacts the economy in the state.
You will begin seeing this battle take place across the country in the next few years as the defense budget is reduced, but unfortunately members of both the House and the Senate have used the Defense Department as a cash cow bringing back to their states and districts inflow of cash, all under the guise of protecting the national security of the United States.
Both political parties use this excuse to enrich themselves, all the while escalating runaway spending at the Defense Department. Americans have to realize the real threat to the security of the U.S. is not from terror groups, but the monumental federal debt which is crippling the economic security of this nation. If left unchecked will continue to erode the economic future of America.
Across the the country, governments of all levels have used public funding for their own partisan agenda, and we now we are paying for this extravagant spending binge.
The bill is now coming due!
