I don’t mind them “hitting” the military but it seems the Pentagon always gets screwed. What about the 1/2 billion dollars that Newt allocated for Planned Parenthood. Why can’t they get hit some. I know Newt did this in the 90’s and not today but still.

To paraphrase a line from Ben Stein’s father......if the military wastes half of what is budgeted for them, then we need to budget twice as much.
The military and defense is a constitutional duty.......section 8 housing and health care are not.

So you think 500 billion dollars in cuts is enough? That is what will happen if the Super Duper Committee fails to act. Yes I believe that the Military Budget is too large and some cuts can happen. I do believe that 500 billion would decimate the military.

Perhaps we have smart weapons that can get the job done without putting our precious sons in front of enemy guns?

Certainly needs to be cuts and I am sure we could find plenty of waste that would never be missed. That said, any cut in the military will simply have the money diverted to the politicians pet social program or kickback. So there will be NO cuts. The politicians see money on the balance sheet for one line item in the hope that it can be used on something more beneficial say like getting themselves reelected by bribing the public. They are no longer doing what is in the best interests of our republic nor the countries short, mid, or long term future. Its clear that it is far to late to fix the problems given how entrenched the contempt for freedom and responsibility are. The rot is systemic for the entire system and the people as a whole. Things are going to accelerate to the downside as the the ship of fools continue with their plundering of what is left.
