This Budget a "Course Correction"?

Miriam Pemberton of IPS, one of the smartest military budget analysts around, took a quick look at the Obama Administration's budget proposal with her colleague Suzanne Smith. Their conclusion was that it was a "modest course correction," but unfortunately not a "sweeping shift" of priorities.
Imho, since the Bush/Cheney years had set the nation on a preposterously expensive, overly militaristic, and clearly unsustainable course, "modest course corrections" are not enough. Duh.
