“Let me just say in closing that the bipartisan sustainable defense task force report released last year identified at least $1 trillion in cuts over the next 10 years without sacrificing our strategic capabilities. According to the GAO, major weapons programs have suffered from $300 billion in cost overruns, and in fact, it's time to end this war in Afghanistan. These wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are costing the taxpayers $1 trillion. We know al Qaeda is not in Afghanistan, and we need to put our money where our mouth is. Cut the defense budget the same way we're talking about cutting non-discretionary.”
