The defense budget over the next five years is going to be less than originally projected... |

..and yet to some that means they can try and paint it as a defense budget cut... Except it isn't..you see...If I was projected to get a 10% pay raise every year for the next 5 years but instead I only get a 5% raise, I did NOT in actual fact get a 5% pay cut. http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2011/01/budget-battles-did-gates-cut-defense-cash/

Rush Limbaugh used this same argument when Bill Clinton "cut" welfare programs.
So either Bill Clinton cut welfare spending, or he didn't. And either Obama is cutting military spending, or he isn't. It's all in your perspective, I guess.

3. That's how Washington math works |

and that's why I distinguish between cuts and "cuts".
