29. I like military cuts done with a plan too. When we have a giant demand deficit
those cuts need to be folded into better uses to stimulate and invest or they also become a net negative and do absolutely nothing but create more unemployment and less demand which means the economy sinks further.

Military cuts can easily become a fucked up wet dream and done haphazardly with no change in mission leaves us and/or our personnel in a bad spot. Real cuts mean shutting down Pax Americana or getting out of the nuke business in addition to the wars.

Mainly, we need no reductions in demand or any fewer jobs. You can't make cuts in this environment and not reallocate. That goes for as far as the eye can see.
