Report: Obama is not making a new offer at 'fiscal cliff' meeting with congressional leaders

10. Counter with more cuts in MILITARY spending.

There is huge bloat in that budget, with all of its $$$ for contractors, weapons systems that are unnecessary, unneeded or excessive spending on overseas bases, etc. The military budget has been spared cuts and even gotten increases beyond what the defense secretary requested, for years. But don't cut the VA hospital (etc.) budget, disability benefits, etc.

Military spending is a HUGE % of the overall budget. And defense contractors KNOW they can afford cutbacks and already have contingency plans in place.

I hear almost NOTHING about this very obvious place to cut, while harming the fewest vulnerable Americans, in all the pundit talk. And I don't hear the teabaggers coming forth to propose these cuts. I wonder why not...
