Task Force members serve as individuals. Affiliations are listed for identification purposes and do not imply organizational endorsement of the Task Force findings.

The Sustainable Defense Task Force was formed in response to a request from Representative Barney Frank (D-MA), working in cooperation with Representative Walter B. Jones (R-NC), Representative Ron Paul (R-TX), and Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR), to explore possible defense budget contributions to deficit reduction efforts that would not compromise the essential security of the United States. The Project on Defense Alternatives coordinated the work of the Task Force. Carl Conetta drafted the main body of the Task Force report in ongoing consultation with Task Force members who developed or digested proposals from the diverse sources cited in the report. A sub-committee of the Task Force reviewed the final draft before publication. It should not be assumed that all Task Force members endorse all items and sections of the report.

Guilt by association?  You just said it.  Paul is associated with it.  "The Sustainable Defense Task Force was formed in response to a request from Representative Barney Frank (D-MA), working in cooperation with Representative Walter B. Jones (R-NC), Representative Ron Paul (R-TX), and Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR), to explore possible defense budget contributions to deficit reduction efforts that would not compromise the essential security of the United States."  You know Paul is Mr. Isolationist.  Some of our founders were as well.  It is a totally different world now.

Roma, I have no idea what you are referring to.  What I posted came from the govt website.  Please refer to posting again saying it was formed by Frank, Jones, Wyden and RON PAUL.  I can only go by what the govt says about their own task forces.

You bet.  But, it is Glenn who informs us.  Without him, I don't know what we would do.  The lame stream media is worthless, at best.  Palin and Hannity help.  And Rush is darn good too. 

It too have heard and seen good and bad from CATO.  Guess it's as you say, its all about the money and power. 

How sad for our beautiful Republic that the evils that are happening have not been checked by those who swore an oath to protect it. 

Have a great evening.

Roma, I did not say Heritage is a Soros foundation.  It is anything but.  I trust Heritage.  They have made some mistakes in the past, but, that is based on info current at that time.  I do not know all that much about CATO.  I do know Glenn did not accuse them of Soros ties. I have been to multiple TP meetings, and have not had the chance to check on CATO.  And please note, Heritage is not in the list of the 14 that were posted.  It was 11 of those 14 that Glenn exposed.

I have read The Road to Serfdom abridged.  Yes, I know EXACTLY who Soros is and what he stands for.  Also, I am aware of what his father stood for.   Did I say Cato was funded by Soros?  I believe I said 11 of the 14.  I think most of us have figured out how the progressives and socialists rebrand things to make them sound American or in our "best interests".  Such as the Institute for Policy Studies.  Who would not want the policies of many administrations studied, and corrected in many cases?  That is not the purpose of that institution.  We all know Center for American Progress is a Soros funded organization, also connected to the Clintons.  A couple of the folks listed above are communists, either closet or registered.  Korb being one of them. 

If you have GBTV, Glenn exposes all of this and all of the connections to Ron Paul and Barney Frank.  It was the Tuesday night show in the archives.
