Take a look at the latest "cuts" in defense spending, brought to you by . . . just about everybody. Obama, Congress, defense contractors, they all get in the act and somehow manage to make an increase sound like cuts. After wading into the budget wilderness, it becomes a little more clear. And, yes, it is worse than this cartoon depicts. A Mark Fiore political animation.
