Cannabal,
I wasn't trying to say that we were in agreement, but rather, that you have outlined the problem well.
I agree that spending needs to be cut ~ [B]PERIOD[/B].
The problem is, politicians don't do that. The argument is always over which programs deserve to be increased more than others.
We, as a people, need to force our politicians to make the committment to cut the budget first ~ [I][B]then[/B][/I] decide [I]where[/I] to cut (A balanced budget amendment perhaps)?
I believe that in an open forum of ideas, we would reach common agreement on the importance of the military (no offense Skip). I also believe that when politicians are finally forced to fight over a finite amount of dollars, much of the waiste will mysteriousely disapear.
It would be like shining the light of truth on the dark secret of our budget process.

i truly believe most Americans would want the same things here...
