For the 2009 fiscal year, the base budget of the Department of Defense rose to $518.3 billion. Adding emergency discretionary spending, supplemental spending, and stimulus spending brings the sum to $651.2 billion.[1][2] Defense-related expenditures outside of the Department of Defense constitute between $274 billion and $493 billion in additional spending, bringing the total for defense spending to between $925 billion and $1.14 trillion in 2009.[3]from wiki

i did not go to wiki for my information. my program manager has quarterly meeting after every quarter. he tells us what we are being budgeted through out the year. over this past fiscal here we lost roughly 30% give or take few percent.

The military spending has gone UP with Obama in office, not a 30% cut that you blamed on him in your post. If the military can't budget properly that really isn't Obama's fault, is it?

Lets review: Military spending has gone up in 2009 after Obama has taken office. If your program has been cut, you might find those responsible and blame them .. it sure as hell isn't Obama.

where are you finding that military spending has gone up and in what areas. i work at naval air station jacksonville fl. flight hours on that base alone have gone from 50,000 hours a year to 35,000 hours a year. that is result of a budget reduction. not because the military didn't budget correctly. military budgets are given through quarterly installments. this 30% reduction is not on one program here or one program there. this happened across the whole military.

me not using my shift key has nothing to do with my writing skill or my grammar ability. on my computer i get lazy. i don't like using the shift button. on the job there is no laziness involved. i have to sign for everything i do or touch on the engine. i can be sent to prison if i am found guilty of being negligent of wrong mechanic procedure.
