| #3 Cut every department and agency in the government by the same percentage they cut from defense which is a primary justification for the nation government to begin with [see Federalist Papers]. Percent by percent. It's a start. |

| #2 No. Every time the Donks slash the defense budget, the Trunks end up holding the bag when they go in to rebuild it. |

| #1 A wise man once said, 'you go to war with the military you have', or something like that. A smaller defense budget simply means we need to rethink where and when we go to war, and if we bother to clean up the mess afterwards. As far as I can tell we fought the first gulf war on behalf of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia and got a decent check to pay for some of it. We fought the second Iraq war and somehow the oil deals went to our allies. Same with the LIbyan deal. It's unseemly but someone needs to realistically consider the cost before an invasion. |
