A National Defense Panel report is a clarion call: our Western Pacific position is weakening, vis-a-vis China, and Islamic terrorism threats are greater than pre-9/11.

Russia’s threatening Europe, the Mid-East is in flames, Africa is smoldering…

…and the Obama administration wants further military reductions?

Boiled down, the money quote is on page 6 of the report: “…national defense needs should drive national defense budgets, not the opposite…” (emphasis added)

Billions are thrown at failed Green projects (Solyndra, etc);

Billions are requested for immigration when enforcement, not funding, is the problem;

Billions are requested in VA reforms, when greed, not funding, is the problem;

Billions are back-doored for Obamacare Big Insurer bailouts, and overpaid in O-care subsidies; billions are handed out in crony-exemptions and sweetheart tax deals…

…while our National Defense needs are driven by… budget constraints?
