1, military speanding is nosacred cow whose fleash must never be broken ...there is enough waste fraud and mis manaagement to fund a lot of social programs ( or give it back to the money's real owner's US ) . Why is everyone in DC trying to reinvent the flat tire of congressional budget cut's, when R. Reagen had it done before : it's called THE GRACE COMMISION ON GOVERNMENT WASTE ...the blue print is already extant now some one in DC has to find a spine and push for these spending cuts that must be made !...has everyone heard ( read ) about HR 25 to remove the 26th amendment so Baronco can run again and again and again ...that's the biggest threat we as a nation face ,unless again someone in DC finds the spine to start impeachment articles on Baronco !
