I agree that we need to cut spending, even on military.
My first cut? Remove 60-70% of bases overseas, including 100% in Europe.
My next cut? TARP and handout programs.
Afterwards? All porkbarrel projects. States need to be responsible for projects in their state. Stop muddying the water between state and federal responsibilities.
All the while reforming social programs like Medicare/Medicaid (more efficiency, less cost), education (more vouchers for cheaper private schools), and social security (more diversity/choice in what you can invest in).
We need to end Team America: World Police. Let the other nations butcher themselves, and show them why our military was needed in the first place. Let Europe handle problems on their continent and those around them, while we focus on our on backyard (Mexico and Latin America).
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
