Defense spending

By Creature

The Hill reports there's a slight shift towards considering cuts in defense spending. I'm with Cole here, I'll believe it when I see it. But what really gets me is that a guy like Jason Altmire dares to have a "D" next to his name:

“No,” Blue Dog Rep. Jason Altmire (D-Pa.) responded when asked if he agreed with Hoyer’s stance on the defense budget.

“A lot of the things he said I was not in agreement with,” Altmire said. “The first thing we need to look at are cuts to social programs.”

Yes, my hate for Blue Dogs runs deep.
