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.

That's true... but not really.
While Household gini coefficent is up....
Individual Gini coefficent isn't.
That is, to put it more simply. The Rich aren't getting richer. The rich are more likely to marry other rich people. Your average rich guy actually has less money then 1994. It's just his partner is likely to make more money. The rise in income inequality has actually statistically been caused by the rise of dual income families and women making more in the workplace. (and marrying people in their salary range more often.)
