Isn't it funny when Libs complain about defense spending when it has decreased?
and entitlement spending has increased?
El Marxista-
This is a "fake" graph according to you, but you'll go by what you "heard?" Wow if that isn't typical of a liberal.
Fact check those numbers if you'd like.

wow, really, the heritage foundation?! could you possibly find a more biased (and deceitful) source? the percentage of increase for defense has shrunk, but it has hardly been cut back. The defense budget for FY12 is more than it was for FY11. We've known for a long time that the increase in your "entitlement" programs was coming with the retirement of all the baby boomers. Even with the efforts set forth by your greedy republican "too-big-to-fail" banks trying to thwart these retirements by selling falsified securities to their friends.

I love how this article has no citation and Obama actually made a speech where he said he was going to be cutting entitlements. BTW, the wars have cost 4 trillion dollars and we spent more on military air conditioning than on NASA. It's just the dumbest statement ive ever heard to say defense has been reduced.

Should people jump for joy when the jobless rate goes down a half percent? The defense budget needs a lot more cutting. Besides, entitlements have gone up due to the Bush recession.

hmmm - social security is considered an "entitlement" This is the same entitlement group that Congress just recently voted to increase benefits. Yeah, it is funny how things work......cute little sheep there in your picture.

No, the attitude of the GOP towards defense is repulsive. Conduct a war but don't provide a war tax. When the brave soldiers ask for armor & vests to protect them, say there is no money.
Cons - your man Bush is the most deplorable individual in history. You have to live with the legacy at least until the debt is paid off.
