Now I need ten truckloads of submachineguns to negotiate it against the lobby groups, and my private ammo factory to secure my argument supply.

BTW, I saved more than all of you so far. :O:

Am I the only one who is not reducing the nuclear arsenal and space spending? :doh:

Is that only military space spending, or is it civilian space exploration?

People just don't understand the need for a strong deterrent against a Soviet first strike... :shifty:

Military I'd say:

"Would reduce number of nuclear warheads to 1,050, from 1,968. Would also reduce the number of Minuteman missiles and funding for nuclear research and development, missile development and space-based missile defense."

"Gentlemen, for the last fifteen years, I've fought at this table alongside your predecessors in the struggle against the Soviet. Now I do not wish to seem melodramatic, but I do wish to impress upon you a lesson I learned with bitter tears and great sacrifice. The Soviet understands only one language: action. Respects only one word: force."

Cut foreign aid for a start, we can't keep throwing money around like it's water.

Not Soviets obviously but need to stay strong as a deterrent to say "ex" soviet Putin who runs Russia, China in the future. Let our guard down and it emboldens our enemies.Must always stay on offense, ready for a fight in this world, to think "hey cold war is over so lets have a weaker military to save $$" is just naive.

Here is an idea, stop giving money to all the charity cases around the world like Haiti and various African nations.Stop the lavish travel of Obama, his wife and various officials, it adds up and would save us.Eliminate earmarks, talking all special projects not approved in the budget.Reform trade policies.etc etc etc
