Actually it was stopped because the super pac ran out of money. Also the federal government is only bloated in defense and undercut in other area's. So yes I think we can trim the useless empire we have built. We are splurging money because of decisions made by bush. All from bush tax cuts and the wars and deregulation of wall st. and the banks. Which clinton had a big foot in on. So, Really we need to get ride of right wing aggenda's. There a joke and have never worked.


I agree that the DoD, plus the war fund, is ridiculously expensive and needs cutting. However, it is far from the only department. In fact, I'd go insofar to argue that just about every department is overfunded.


I would have to disagree, if we just ended the bush tax cuts we would cut off 7 trillion in the next 10 years and all of it in the next 20. most likely faster because the economy would get bigger. So the important things that protect your food, water, and many other things is really important. Yes some things can be cut but the problem istn't cutting it's a revenue problem. The rich don't pay there fair share. Mitt pays 13.9%. I pay around 30%. I'm not rich and need the money a lot more then him. There is a revenue problem, which means my tax' s  and social, good programs that are there for reason need to get cut because the rich are a like f them I want 26 house's instead. I don't  want to pay into what has made and allowed me to profit. The military, roads, cops, firefighters and many others things allow them and there products to be protected and run smoothly to the customer. none of this is cheap.
