Watch Panetta's Pentagon Cuts

If we have learned anything from the Occupy Wall Street movement, it is that the 1% has no trouble cutting spending that might make the 99%'s lives easier.  And that seems to be what Lockheed-Martin and friends have in mind for a slimmed-down Pentagon budget - cut salaries, pensions, and health care, not weapons systems procurement, nation-building, and overseas bases.  Defense Secretary Panetta knows his way around budgets, and his report later this week should be an eye-opener.  Meanwhile, keep building the USS Gerald R. Ford and the F-35.
