In reply to the discussion: Pic Of The Moment: Dick Attacks Obama Over Defense Cuts [View all]oldandhappy
(6,719 posts)21. From MSNBC Spending will actually be higher
For Cheney, who keeps talking despite his profound lack of credibility on the subject, this transition is dangerous and devastating. What he doesnt realize or chooses to ignore because the facts are ideologically unsatisfying is that the cuts the Obama administration spelled out yesterday still means higher defense spending than the levels required by the sequestration policy demanded by congressional Republicans in 2011. (Under the Obama administrations plan, the U.S. will still spend more on the military than most of the leading world powers combined.)

That's right Dick! Obama would rather spend money on food stamps than capture Bin Laden, right?
