Yes there is pork throughout the government that can’t be denied. The problem is even if you were able to cut everything we are still left with a bloated military. Look I served and my son is currently serving, I am pro defense and military, I also believe to get our fiscal house in order everything is on the table. Nothing is exempt. I always laugh at the earmarks. Earmarks are bad but they allowing for about 1/10 of a percent in spending. Real reform needs real solutions. This kicking of the can crap is tiresome and not sustainable.
Defense has always been a sacred cow of the republicans.
