I just found out (from the Colbert report no less) that Gates' new budget plan will destroy 14,000 jobs....and create 44,000 in the F35 program. All of my points are now withdrawn. Good game, Robert Gates. Part of the issue that the American people are going to have with this plan is that it is being terribly reported. News stations across the board (by that I mean MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News are all saying this) are reporting it as a pure budget cut and only mentioning the potential jobs lost, not the ones gained.

Stupid media. Sometimes I think they want the American people to be pissed off and miserable.
