style="font-size: 16px;">Freeze Non-War Spending for Five
Years?<br>
</span></strong></span></p>

<p><strong><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">"So tonight, I am
proposing that starting this year, we freeze annual domestic
spending for the next five years." </span></strong>Thus
spoke the President last night. "Domestic" spending means
non-war and non-military spending. Over half of our public
spending goes to
wars and the military. Even the President's own catfood
(deficit) commission recommended cutting $100 billion. Why
leave it out of the freeze? This may be why:</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">"And we've sent a
message ... to all parts of the globe: We will not relent,
we will not waver, and we will defeat you." </span> </strong>That's
going to be expensive, and President Obama promised lower taxes
on corporations in the same speech. He's already signed off on
tax cuts for billionaires. Spending cuts will have to come
somewhere else.</p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><strong><span
style="font-size: 20px;">It's time to resist: </span></strong></span><a

<p><strong><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">"Already, we've
frozen the salaries of hardworking fe deral
employees for the next two years. I've proposed cuts to
things I care deeply about, like community action programs.
The Secretary of Defense has also agreed to cut tens of
billions of dollars in spending that he and his generals
believe our military can do without." </span></strong> But
those little cuts out of the $1 trillion we spend on the
military each year are planned for future years, not this one.
The President is expected to propose a larger military budget
for the third year in a row next month. And he has thus far
consistently used off-the-books supplemental bills to add more
funding to his wars.</p>
