So did the country's huge fiscal deficit. in this, the latest in a long line of Brookings Institution analyses of the defense budget, Michael O'Hanlon considers how best to balance national security and fiscal responsibility during a period of prolonged economic stress and political acrimony --even as the world remains unsettled, from Afghanistan to Iran to Syria to the western Pacific region. O'Hanlon explains why the large defense cuts that would result from prolonged sequestration or from deficit-reduction projects such as the Bowles-Simpson plan are too deep. But the bulk of his book represents an effort to look for greater savings than the Obama administration's 2012 proposals would allow. 517 3 $aMaintaining military preeminence while cutting the defense budget 606 $aNational security$zUnited States$xFinance 607 $aUnited States$xArmed Forces$xAppropriations and expenditures 607 $aUnited States$xMilitary policy 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y2009-2017 615 0$aNational security$xFinance. 676 $a355/.033573 700 $aO'Hanlon$b Michael E$0552048 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786880403321 996 $aHealing the wounded giant$93839981 997 $aUNINA
