Snippets from CSPAN interview with George Wilson, Defense Correspondent from the National Journal (yearly subscription rate is $1,160) this morning:
- Defense spending this year including nuclear and VA benefits is $1 Trillion.
- That is $1 Million per minute.
- Defense spending is viewed by Congress as a job program
- As such most programs are approved, even though .....
- Pentagons Sec. of Defense, Robert Gates, wants to cut 5 major unwanted programs including the $1 Billion each Nuke Subs.
- He can't, and probably will resign in disgust later this year.
- US has 700 bases in 150 countries around the world, China has 0 in other countries.
