Now they will have only 7 times that number. Sure, it's a good thing there are going to be fewer nukes around, but a 30% reduction is still largely symbolic. In the meantime, little progress has been made with respect to Pakistan, Iran, North Korea -- the real nuclear threats. Whether it's 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' or START: Obama gets to celebrate symbolic victories, while the economic and corporate elites (and their Republocrat cronies) can happily continue to siphon off federal money and accelerate redistribution from the poor to the rich.
