National Defense



Oceans So Wide, A U.S. Navy So Small

Defense: The new Obama budget does little to restore American sea power, which has reached lows not seen for almost a century. Who's noticing? You can bet that Beijing is.

Go to the website of the Obama administration's Office of Management and Budget, and you'll find a list of 23 links to "Fact Sheets on Key Issues" in the president's proposed 2013 budget. Most are about how Barack Obama's spending blueprint will benefit this or that group, from farmers and college students to seniors and "the LGBT community."
Notably missing is national defense. Maybe the president just doesn't find the topic interesting.
