www.cato.org The US Military has an important purpose, protecting Americans, but that purpose has been distorted over the years. Here are five military spending cuts Congress and the President can make today while they undertake the harder task of rethinking the true purpose of the military and then restraining its use. Christopher A. Preble is director of foreign policy studies at the Cato Institute. These recommendations come from the report, "Budgetary Savings from Military Restraint." www.cato.org

US is still number one when it comes to the military industrial complex; in fact it's the world's biggest military spender - it spends six times more than China, their closest rival. There is no single nation across the globe posing a threat to America, neither there is a Cold War anymore. Why spend such a huge amount of money for Pentagon needs?

We'll take a look at what a new US military strategy will actually look like. In short, President Obama described it as shifting away from land wars, and moving to air and sea. But who exactly are the threats that we're planning on countering with all of this? If you listen to the President; the Secretary of Defense, they call it an "Asia-Pacific" strategy. What do we want to call it? New America Foundation's Steven Clemons discusses.

The Congressional Budget Office projects that if we keep spending the way we have been, federal debt held by the public will grow from around 60 percent of GDP to a whopping 82 percent of GDP over the next decade, with no end in sight. That's the sort of borrowing that can ruin a country's economy. Conservative Republicans are happy to talk about cutting spending on the poor, education, and cowboy poetry readings, but they insist that spending on defense and homeland security be increased. Given that spending on defense and homeland security accounts for a whopping 20 percent of the government's budget, that's a non-starter. As with every other legitimate function of government, we need to squeeze spending down to the lowest level possible that still gets the job done. Here are three reasons conservatives -- and all other red-blooded Americans -- should cut defense spending now. 1. War is Over! Didn't we just win -- or at least end -- the war in Iraq? And aren't we winding down in Afghanistan? After World War II, Vietnam, and the end of the Cold War, military spending got cut, as it should have been. More to the point, spending on the military and homeland security grew by 90 percent in inflation-adjusted dollars since 2000. If al Qaeda and most international terrorists groups have been largely vanquished, we should not just be bringing the troops home, but dollars too. Unless, that is, conservatives want to seriously argue that nearly doubling outlays for the past decade <b>...</b>

Russia has revealed details of its ambitious plan to upgrade its army over the next ten years, planning to spend US$650 billion on the project. The unveiled large-scale plans of the Russian defense ministry propose the spending of vast sums of money up to 2020. First and foremost, Russian defense will focus on the development of strategic nuclear weapons, construction of over 100 military vessels for Russian Navy, including construction of four originally French-made Mistral-class amphibious assault ships, and the introduction into the Air Force of over 1000 helicopters and 600 military planes, including fifth generation PAK-FA fighter. Most of the military hardware will be equipped with next-generation weaponry. For the first time ever, Russia is planning to buy military equipment from NATO-member countries -- two Mistral helicopter carriers will be bought in France (with two more licensed to be built in Russia), as well as samples of armored vehicles from Italy and elements of personal combat systems also from France. Moscow's plans to modernize Russian strategic nuclear forces do not contravene the newly-signed New START nuclear arms reduction treaty with the US, which aims at the reduction of up to a third of the strategic nuclear weapons in both Russia and the US. President Dmitry Medvedev came out and said that he really wants the Russian military to be a source of innovation, and upgrading military forces is what all the spending is based upon.

It has been roughly 2 weeks since Congress decided on a debt deal and they are expected to make more cuts on US spending in the coming months. Some are saying it is time for the US to cut its military spending and focus on domestic issues. Will defense spending bankrupt the US?

When it comes to making decisions about how to save the US from the economic crisis, many people claim the cuts should come from defense spending. 20 percent of the US total budget goes to defense spending, which has many Americans disgusted, but the US' Secretary of Defense, Leon Panetta, begs to differ.

The US budget may include $38 billion of spending cuts, but there will be a financial boost for the military. This year's planned military spending is $700 billion, while other areas including healthcare, education, and infrastructure are on the chopping block. The decision came after a long struggle between lawmakers and the Pentagon saying military cuts will threaten national security. Journalist Chris Hedges says the decision was made under severe pressure from some lobbying circles. RT on Facebook: www.facebook.com RT on Twitter: twitter.com

But one of the leading budget experts in the House of Representatives is saying that progressives need to start putting more pressure on the issue and should specifically think about cutting spending on NATO. "These kind of restrictions on domestic spending with unlimited spending for the war -- and you always have to talk about both -- is a great mistake," Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) told The Huffington Post last week. "And the liberal community's got to focus more on Afghanistan, Iraq, NATO.

Paul wants to freeze defense spending but has most support from those in the industry Steve Watson www.infowars.com www.prisonplanet.tv twitter.com February 21, 2012 Much has been made of the fact that Ron Paul is the choice of the troops, having received more donations from active duty military personnel than all the other GOP candidates combined, as well as Obama. However, new figures also show that Ron Paul is favored among people who work in the defense sector. US Federal Election Commission (FEC) contribution records analyzed by Defense News reveal that Paul received both the most contributions and the largest total amount of cash among Republican candidates from employees of the world's top 100 defense companies. $177413.39 was donated to to Paul's campaign by defense employees in 2011, with a total of 824 individual contributions, meaning an average of $215.31 per person. That figure is the highest any GOP candidate received from defense workers at companies such as Boeing, Deloitte and Lockheed Martin. Although Mitt Romney's total isn't far off Paul's, the figures show that the former Massachusetts Governor received just 198 contributions. Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum received just $27310 and $8185, respectively from defense workers. Defense news notes that the results are startling because, unlike the other candidates, Ron Paul has campaigned for a stemming defense spending.

Li Zhaoxing, Speaker for China's National People's Congress, declared that in 2012, China's national defense expenditure will amount to 670.2 billion Chinese Yuan. It has increased by 67.6 Billion Chinese Yuan and 11.2 percent compared to last year. China ranks second in the world's biggest defense budgets next to America. In the past 20 years, the CCP's annual military spending has been increasing sharply. Representatives of China's senior military officials claimed that China will continue to increase its military spending and is not afraid of the overwhelming criticisms of "China is threatening the world". Some analysts points out that even without the pressure from America's new strategy on Asia-Pacific, this year the Chinese regime would still increase its budget on national defense. The ambitions of China on military expansion have never changed. North American political commentator Wen Zhao said the speed of China's military expansion is very rare among all the countries in the world. In addition, there is also a huge amount of non-publicized military expenditure in China.

In the past decade China's growing military capability has attracted a great deal of attention, but details about the current and likely near-future state of China's military power have been in short supply. While it is true that China is modernizing its forces and increasing defense spending, the prospective improvements in overall military capability need to be set against the very low-technology starting point of China's armed forces.

A Conversation with Senator Bernie Sanders: Waste in Military Spending

military spending waste us senator bernie sanders

DemocracyNow.org - President Obama sent his new jobs proposal to Congress on Monday with a plan to pay for the $447 billion package by raising taxes on the wealthy. Democracy Now! interviews MIT Professor Emeritus Noam Chomsky, who says "huge military spending, a very low taxes by the rich [and corporations] ... those are problems, fundamental problems that have to be dealt with if there is going to be anything like successful economic and social development in the United States." As Republican presidential candidate, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, calls Social Security a "ponzi scheme," and Democrats buy into the narrative that the program is in crisis, Chomsky notes that, "To worry about a possible problem 30 years from now, which can incidentally be fixed with a little bit of tampering here and there, as was done in 1983, to worry about that makes absolutely no sense unless you're trying to destroy the program."

What are the malign interests at work here, and who really stands to benefit from an attack on Iran? What is Israel's role in all of this, and what is the likelihood that an attack would put the US at greater risk of a terrorist attack?
