Cheney's record on defense spending
In article ,
George Ashley wrote: Cheney Disingenuous on Military Spending. Talk about hypocrisy! The little round man is probably headed back to his bunker to plot another war! Vice President Cheney's record on military spending undercuts his current attempts to tar political opponents on the issue. Cheney routinely chastised President Reagan for failing to cut defense spending and later played up his own efforts to trim spending on weapons, troop support, and military bases. As former Secretary of Defense, Vice President Cheney bragged about cutting defense spending. In February 1990, Cheney told Congress" since I became Secretary, we've been through a fairly major process of reducing the defense budget." Cheney stated that during his the first year of his tenure, he "cut almost $65 billion out of the five-year defense program" and that subsequent proposals would "take another $167 billion out." Damm right. For more details look up specific analysis on www.factcheck.org. Look at the titles of the documents in their archive before your accuse Factcheck of being a Kerry mouthpiece. -- Al Dykes ----------- adykes at p a n i x . c o m |
