National
Security Reform Program
The Pentagon
estimates that taxpayers could save $6.5 billion per year by simply
closing obsolete bases. This unnecessary spending comes as
the United States military stands at a crossroads. The military
is undertaking a costly restructuring of its forces, and base
closures can free up tens of billions of dollars. Despite this
pressing need, some in Congress are trying to delay the next round
of base closures that is scheduled to take place in 2005.
New
Beginnings, a report by Taxpayers for Common Sense and
Christopher Hellman of the Center
for Defense Information, provides a clear analysis of the
necessity of base closures and examines the economic impacts of
closures on communities.
