Kicking the Defense Can

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. Congress spent the New Year holiday kicking the can down the road while going off the fiscal cliff.  If this sounds like a new form of extreme sport, it isn't.  Neither is it an example of representative government attending properly to the nation's needs. Of particular concern is the fact that one of the issues postponed for two months is whether the U.S. military is going to be subjected to further, catastrophic budget cuts.  Those now pending would devastate its ability to ensure the common defense and inflict a loss of as many as 1.3 million jobs on a still-struggling economic recovery. Our government has no higher responsibility than protecting its people from all enemies, foreign and domestic.  We can't safely defer action needed to ensure it can reliably do that.
