“Go Big!” That’s the new demand of 100 legislators in Washington.

They want $4 trillion in federal deficit reduction – more than three times the amount that has, thus far, eluded the so-called Deficit Reduction Super Committee. Its members disagree whether to achieve even relatively small savings by raising taxes or just by cutting spending.

Exactly how the “Go Big” folks propose to get there from here is not clear. What is clear, however is that – whatever the target – the United States seems poised to make draconian cuts in our capabilities to provide for the common defense, the first responsibility of our federal government.

If we do so, we will find ourselves going big, all right – going into big trouble by inviting aggression in a dangerous world. We literally cannot afford to do that.
