Ok, no one likes the cleaver of sequester…..but how about this one:  a scalpel.

Most agree that there is certainly excess in the DoD budget (and elsewhere in government).  But hacking away at all of it makes no sense – some programs are better run and more important than others, so why would we whack them 10% indiscriminately?

I do believe that there are those in the Pentagon – and on the Hill – who can rationally come up with the equivalent 10% by picking programs and expenses that could be expendable.  So why not let them have a go at it…..

I’ll be in Boston later this week to talk about these issues – and looking at the long-term requirement that needs action now to strengthen American Competitiveness.
