"Cash for Clunkers, Cuts for Missile Defense"

CLIFF MAY:

missile defense, a program that would benefit all Americans and our troops and allies overseas, has the support of 78% of Americans and in some polls near 90%; but funding is now being cut by $1.4 billion, with additional cuts down the road a real possibility — unless there is substantial pushback.

... With the threat from rogue regimes such as North Korea and Iran increasing, with Pakistan swaying on a high wire, and with Russian subs cruising off our coasts, wouldn't it be nice to know we're putting in place a comprehensive, layered system (i.e. including space-based interceptors) that could stop missiles from reaching their intended victims — including those intended victims driving shiny new cars with better gas mileage and lower carbon footprints?
