And what vice president cheney doesn t mention is two things. when he was secretary of defense, he actually cut it more than what has been cut under the budget control act, and this was not obama s idea. in fact, as you mentioned, he s asking for $26 billion more than the sequestration allows, and another $100 billion over the next couple of years so they can get relief from sequestration. he s not cutting it. he s asking for more than the congress. larry, i m glad you mentioned that. when it comes to dick cheney on these issues, the fact check takes a lot longer than the original lie. i have to tell you, i don t have a high standard for him, but this was pretty outrageous what he is saying both for, as you mentioned, the context of military spending and when he was, you know, for it before he was against it. second, the fact that we can t report it enough, this is all under a sequester demanded by republicans in the house. these are their cuts. ....

Was against it. second, the fact that we can t report it enough, this is all under a sequester demanded by republicans in the house. these are their cuts. senator rubio also hypocritically lashing out at the president today when he wanted these cuts. then on the food stamps issue, i m sorry, food stamps can be a loaded term. it s also something a lot of people use because they need assistance to feed their families. turns out, dick cheney having been a defense secretary, certainly knows this. turns out a lot of food stamps go to military families. i want to put up a defense department review that showed last year military families more reliant on food stamps in 2013 than any previous year. $100 million in food stamp spending in military grocery stores there. have been food stamp cuts as well. if you take his cheap attack at face sprvalue, it s wrong. number two, what s wrong with food stamps that are going to help people in need including our veterans and their families? there s noth ....

Commissary in terms of subsidies for that. this is something that those who sacrifice time and time again for our safety and the safety of others globally are now the ones needing the most defense in our own nation. where s the pen? is it out of ink? where s the phone? is it out of service? that s what i want to know today. good point. big chops coming to the department of defense. unless congress stops it. do you think it s all good? look, we need a leaner, smarter military, no doubt about it. but it just seems so indiscriminate. then if the sequester kicks in in another year or two, just take another machete and even more money. here s the facebook question, as dick cheney refers to, and you re going to hear from dick cheney who was on hannity last night. here s the question of the day. with two land wars coming to a close, is this the right time to cut back our defense again? go to our facebook page, weigh in. we ll read it out loud, we promise. in the meantime heather ....

Members of congress are going to not only go on with him in the cuts but that they ll want to do even more. so, yes, he s talking about more than we need to spend, can afford to spend, should wisely spend, but having the secretary of defense on the we can do less than we ve been doing side is a good idea. and the sequester we know is a little unrealistic. it was put in there to threaten i think it s a good thing that even though i voted against it because i didn t think it was a wise way to make cuts. and i i think the key point, though, is this. he s done us a favor by raising this. everybody in america who wants to see the deficit reduced without cutting environmental protection, or local police, or aid to education, or food stamps, or housing for the elderly, or social security, literally everybody who believes any of this ought to jump in here and say, you know, mr. ....

But not far enough. i think this is the opportunity for the american people to say what i think they want to say, we ve been overspending on the military, we ve been over-intervening elsewhere in the world to our disadvantage, and let s bring some of that money back into the domestic economy where it can do some good. the thing that strikes me as the thing that strikes me as strange about these developments today is because there is the sequester, which is deeper cuts than secretary hagel was talking about today, what he s arguing for is actually increases in the defense budget compared to sequester. congress doesn t seem ready to get rid of the sequester. so both sides of this fight are blaming the other for being too reckless and cutting defense too much and they re both arguing that defense ought to have more. i m worried we just started a process that looks like it s starting with cuts but really it s all about people competing to add as much as they can to the budget. again, ....
