What about all the working people who would be put out of a job? There are two sides to every cut, only a bastard would not at least look at the downside to any cut they are happening to suggest.
If your job relies on government funding and it can be handled more efficiently (risk /benefit analysis) without you the tax payer is supposed to just pay you out of kindness ?
I am merely suggesting that the "taking a chainsaw to the budget" approach might sound good to some but there are consequences to such callous action against Americans and their livelihoods. The main problem we have in such a discussion is the definition of "waste", some see any government spending apart from soldiers, cops, prisons and expensive weapons systems as waste while some of us like the stabilizing influence various services and safety nets offer. It's all part of the same thing, we can encourage order by helping people or enforce order by police and prisons, some have decided that enforcing order is the way to go, I disagree.
