Large cut out of the budget??

[gimpy117]

Its amazing how the republican spin machine can make budget cuts sound like a bad thing. Which is made even more ironic by the fact that the "red states" take more from social programs than they put in, and the "blue states" put in more to the social program pot than they take.

To be honest, Our taxes are too low for how many social programs there are. Ill say they are comically too low for the top earners in our nation, but they are also too low for the amount of spending we have across the board, which a lot seems to go to the DOD.

I'd love to see the DOD budget slashed. Our "national defense" has become something totally different, and seems to be more of a program to make sure we can throw our weight around around the globe. I think thats wrong. Defense should be just that, defense. I mean good lord, the JSF is asking for 11 BILLION dollars this year
