Most Americans want to see spending addressed first and foremost... the notion that all spending except military is off the table is absurd. Entitlement spending has to be addressed along with the gazzillions wasted on the USDA, EPA, Dept. of Energy & Education, etc. Every year we're told we need to spend more, and every year the same idiots tell us it is worse.. then we need to spend more, then it is worse, then we need to spend more, then it is worse, then we need to spend more...... Bullshit.
I believe most people would be more than happy to see entitlement programs cut as long as "defense" spending is cut by the same proportion. Would you go for that?
I think there is a LOT that could be cut from Defense... But let's be clear... entitlement spending growth has outpaced defense spending for nearly 40 years.
I would agree, but I hope most people would agree that our defense budget has grown to monumental sizes because some folks believe we have an obligation to police the globe.
