Defenseless!

I was talking with a family member about the SuperCommittee and the looming automatic cuts to the Defense budget.  Am I worried about America's security? 

No.  Why not?  The Pentagon budget will be cut 10% starting in 2013!  How can the US remain a superpower?

OK, here's my answer:

I think the US can survive a 10% cut in spending on the military, considering we currently spend six times as much as our next closest competitor.
