"The Department of Defense is in better shape than most agencies, largely because Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates agreed to stay on and has temporarily retained many Bush administration officials"

"Then there is the proposed clampdown on the Pentagon budget, which would get a 4 percent boost, to $534 billion next year, but would then get increases of 2 percent or less over the next several years.
That's a CLAMPDOWN?
