Jon Kyl Threatens To Quit Super Committee Over Defense Cuts 8SEP11 & THE U.S. EMPLOYMENT EFFECTS OF MILITARY AND DOMESTIC SPENDING PRIORITIES: AN UPDATED ANALYSIS OKT 2009

BYE-BYE jon, bye-bye...the country doesn't need your obstructionist attitude. While you are controlled by the war pigs of the military-industrial complex we are hoping the rest of the committee will realize more jobs are created by tax dollars spent on desperately needed infrastructure projects putting people back to work repairing and building roads, bridges, schools, mass transit projects, and by funding for states to rehire teachers and employees of police and fire departments. So go jon, and sulk, and let the repiglican tea-bagger "leadership" replace you with someone who knows how to work well with others....Check this out from WarCost.com....

WASHINGTON -- The No. 2 Republican in the Senate says he would quit the special deficit-reduction supercommittee if there is an effort to cut more from defense.
Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl made the remarks Thursday at a defense forum shortly after the first supercommittee meeting. Kyl said he is "off of the committee if we are going to talk about further defense cuts."
The debt-limit bill that Congress approved last month calls for $350 billion in military reductions over 10 years.
At the supercommittee meeting, Kyl had commented on a "sense of optimism" that the panel could succeed in cutting $1.5 trillion from the deficit.
The forum was sponsored by the American Enterprise Institute and the Heritage Foundation.
