When the military says they don't want a new weapon system or a new plane or a new boat as it does nothing to improve preparedness ... That would seem to be a no brainer to cut that program. When are we going to close the bases in Japan and Korea left over from wars that ended over 50 yrs ago? The DOD has a plan http://www.defense.gov/news/Defense_...Priorities.pdf
The Ryan budget does NOT allow for these cuts. But really the Ryan budget is not an issue in this election. The VP does not have any role in the budget unless there is a tie in the senate. What is the Romney Budget? Have we seen any details? Will he say whether he does or does not support the Ryan plan? Will he waffle and say he thinks it is a good blueprint but will refuse to say which parts he supports and which parts he opposes? Will he agree with ending the present structure of Medicare and going to a voucher plan?
