The military can't handle the defense spending cuts and still be effective in Afghanistan. - Bacon Nov 9, 07:28 6
- I don't buy that. Are we cutting the military by 90%? 80%? 50%? - ty97 Nov 9, 07:39 3
  - Goes from $555B to $500B, I think. Which is still more than 2006, at the height of the Iraq War. -- nm - mara Nov 9, 07:50 1
    - the *horror*... -- nm - znufrii Nov 9, 08:00
  - Seriously, if our military can't handle Afghanistan on it's own with a majority of the current budget...we shouldn't be fighting wars. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 9, 07:42
- i'm okay with that. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 9, 07:36 1
  - Ending the war is fine but you can't just cut the funding and have people scrambling to get out with no money to do it. - Bacon Nov 9, 07:38

- To both you and Redmond: If we can over the cliff on 1/1 but then pass a compromise/result on, say, 1/7 it doesn't really cause impact, right? - ty97 Nov 9, 07:30 2

  - You said they had "a year" to deal. That's what I was responding to. -- nm - Bacon Nov 9, 07:33
- Yep, all of a sudden people's paychecks would be noticeably smaller - Bacon Nov 9, 07:29 4
  - Checks will be smaller anyway. The 2% payroll tax holiday is going away. -- nm - ty97 Nov 9, 07:30 3
    - Why are you ruining Christmas? -- nm - Bacon Nov 9, 07:31 2
      - Because I'm an atheist? - ty97 Nov 9, 07:36 1
        
        I am too, but I love the Christmas Season -- nm - Bacon Nov 9, 07:37
- It's not as bad as when the extenders weren't passed until December for the current year, but it's not fun. - spamlet Nov 9, 07:28
