11. not to mention democrats
freaking out too. i can't see gene taylor and ike skelton sitting down quitely when it came to proposed cuts. The truth is that both parties in general "love" large military expenditures. Whatever cuts will come will come in the form of operational expenditures (spending on the wars) and in growth of the base budget. There probably won't be any overall cuts to the base budget itself- even obama has said that he is content with small real growth in the buget each year (1-2% over inflation). this would put it on track to have the smallest increases than most other parts of the discretionary budget (which increases about 3% every year)
