army would shrink from 570,000 to 440,000 soldiers and more important politically, governor martin o'malley is already objecting to it. and the e reservists would drop from 560 to 530,000, and a couple of warplanes eliminated and most often not eliminated, but the whole deal here, pat, is that two wars are over, iraq and afghanistan almost over for the u.s., and there's a budget problem, frankly. and so the pentagon is going to shrink. if this plan goes through the obama-hagel plan is going to shrink to a level that the u.s. army has not seen since the beginning of world war ii, but it is not a done deal, because there are objections on both sides up here on capitol congre are trying to solve our budget problems on the back of the military families. the p.x. and other subsidies would get less, and so there would be more co-pays toer the insurance, and more allotments for the military housing would develo drop, so this is going to be controversial. chuck hagel said we have to do this and after it came up, one republican governor told the president privately, you asked for a lot less federal

i, along with governor o'malley, are co-chairs of the governors' council. we will meet this afternoon with leaders from the pentagon and homeland security to talk about these issues. we were disappointed the last meeting we had in milwaukee, the leadership of the pentagon was not in attendance, and we did not feel we had received the kind of consultant of process that was envisioned. i am hopeful this afternoon's meeting will be much different, and i have been assured that will be the case. >> [indiscernible] >> i want to give governor o'malley -- >> thank you. i do not have much to add come except to point out the reason for these cuts is because of the sequester, and that is the situation in which we find ourselves. our guard does important work, and we would hope that congress would be mindful of that when they have to make cuts. the fact of the matter is president obama has reduced spending growth to its lowest levels of any president since dwight eisenhower. the fact of the matter is he has cut the annual deficit down to half of what it was when he cam
