Having trouble staying on top of the different military reduction proposals?

There are so many different reports emerging on how the military budget might be reduced that it is difficult to sort them out.  Fortunately for us, Chris Hellman, of the National Priorities Project reviews  all of them for us.  Chris helped to write the Sustainable Defense Task Force report, which in my mind has the best  set of recommendations of all of the reports that are out there. You can check out Chris' Blogs at: http://nationalpriorities.org/en/blog/2010/11/16/all-hands-debt-entering-critical-debate-over-federal-deficit-reduction/



As I have written many times now,  a certain portion of whatever money is saved must be used to pay down the deficit, but a certain amount has to be reinvested in order to create new jobs (especially in sustainable technologies)  and support vital  social programs (such as urban education.)  To get a handle on   
some of the education options available, you should surf on over to Edutopia,  the website of the George Lucas Educational Foundation, dedicated to what works in education.
