>>MSNBC interveiw today in the moring talks about 21 billion<<

According to the article, this is not news. It is just blatant non-factual speculation about the next five years. Even if true it would still be a big drop from the 2011 number which itself only counts for 1/5 of 1% of the budget anyway.

If they got it...........They'ed probably just spend it.

Yes, pure speculation.

Nothing to see here.

Besides, $ 21 Billion is only chump change - such a tiny part of the budget it's not worth the effort to do anything about it.

Sad to say, that does seem to be the attitude in D.C. these days.

Not quite, Elrod -- if they got it, they'd spend close to _twice_ that amount.
