For those advocating drastic cuts in military spending, are you concerned about creating even more massive unemployment?

Maybe we should increase funding for the IRS too. I bet they could use some help.

And if you're concerned about military employment, I hope you're supporting the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell. Every time a gay person is discharged from the military, it's another person who becomes unemployed.

you're worried that decreasing funding will put people out of jobs.

should we keep funding the same and keep wars going simply to keep people in their jobs?
