Barney Frank: Cut Defense Spending by 25%

With Obama off the campaign trail, the attention turns to other Democrats like Joe the Biden, Michelle Obama, and everyone's favorite gay con man, Barney Frank. Barney has already promised us higher taxes, and now a 25% cut in defense spending designed specifically to cripple our efforts in Iraq:

Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) said Democrats will push for a stimulus package after the November election, and called for a package reducing defense spending by 25 percent while saying Congress will "eventually" raise taxes.

Frank told the editorial board of the SouthCoast Standard-Times that he wanted to reduce defense spending by a quarter, meaning the United States would have to withdraw from Iraq sooner.

While Barack's away, the dummies will play. Thanks for another great sound bite, Barney!
