Gates to cut defense spending

http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2011/01/gates-may-cut-at-least-one-army-brigade-from-europe/

Defense Secretary Robert Gates has announced cuts in defense spending, including cutting some forces from Germany.  So far he's taking small nibbles, but at least this is finally a beginning. 

U.S. defense spending has risen every year since 2001.  It's time for it to go back down now so we can stop denying health care to our own citizens.
