Gates claimed to cut $98B from the Marine’s problem-ridden amphibious tank program, but in fact, slyly redirected the money to other unneeded weapons systems. Nothing saved! Next he promised $78B in unspecified cuts over 5 years, but even those “maybe” cuts wouldn’t start until 2013. Again, nothing tangible saved. It’s all a shell game, and the taxpayers lose.
