Even with two shooting wars, the 12% cut is doable...
Crafty bean counters can shave the far ends of long term contracts, slow down appropriations of system deliveries, (instead of getting 20 stealth jets this year we get 17) and remove from the budget the allowance for inflation and increased spending with one exception: veteran benefits and payroll. This is a doable thing, and not nearly as painful as it seems at first. And the cuts can be made without hurting the people in the system... Payroll for active service people, benefits for veterans, the like.
