The chart speaks for itself and to cut defense spending in the world we live in today is extremely risky. We know obama could care less and the safety of the average U.S. citizen.

Providing for the defense of the United States is Congress’ constitutional obligation. Lawmakers should recognize defense is a necessity, if not the federal government’s most important responsibility.
In recent years, however, defense spending has continued to decline as entitlement spending increased. Priorities are being misplaced as the gap between entitlement spending and defense spending continues to widen.

You get more bang for the buck with the Department of Defense than with the entitlements. Perhaps we should cut entitlements instead of defense?
