WASHINGTON ? Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Monday that tough economic times require that he shutter a major command that employs some 5,000 people around Norfolk, Va., and begin to eliminate other jobs throughout the military.
The announcement was the first major step by Gates to find $100 billion in savings in the next five years. Gates says that money is needed elsewhere within the Defense Department to repair a force ravaged by years of war and to prepare troops for the next fight.

 Nice continued steady reduction of government. No more need to wish for that I guess. Seems like with the mass job cuts they did last month, and the ongoing reduction, we'll be down to a conference room and a box of Krispy Kremes in no time.

Government and its evil and isidious control over our lives has shrunken not a bit. Some jobs have gone away which may slow down the monster but that is about it.
Attmepts at more government control will continue and civil rights will continue to be eroded despite the job cuts.
