White House Gives In On Bush Tax Cuts

You want to cut expenses?

End the wars.  NOW.  

Cut the military.  Close US bases around the globe.   

There are 761 US military bases across the world.

156 countries with US bases.  Officially, the Pentagon counts 865 base sites, but this number omits all our bases in Iraq (over 100) and Afghanistan (80 and counting), among many other well-known and secret bases.

63 countries with US military bases and troops.

7 countries with new military bases since 9/11.


End the pork in the Pentagon's budget.  One example of pork that incoming Speaker of the House John Boehner recently voted for:   Every time an F-35 jet is built, they build two engines.  They make an extra engine just in case you lose the first one.   The Pentagon has been begging forever, "Please, can we stop building two engines?", and the answer is always the same "No".  Because they're built in John Boehner's district.
