What makes you guys think we will pull out of the middle east? We still have to pull out of Germany and Japan first... lol quick joke for the thread.
But seriously; DoD can cut spending, but meat-ax sequestration cuts is not the way to do it smartly and readiness/mission capability will suffer. No DoD agency planned for sequestration, because we were not directed to and we thought congress would pull their heads out.
For the economy: keep taxes lower, decrease government spending and address the deficit. Let consumption pull us out when people gain a little more confidence in the economy again. That's my point of view anyways. Why would I want the government wasting my money, I can do that better myself... lol
