Look we are broke. The only way this is every going to be solved if we accept that every single thing in the US Federal Budget is going to have to be cut.

In a $687 billion Defense budget there is at least 10% that can be cut. Conservative are never going to win this war if they fall into this old DC trap.

DC always avoids making any serious spending cuts by pitting one interest group against the other. Defense Hawks against Entitlements, Domestic spending vrs security spending etc.

The only way to win this Budget battle is to take these tactics away from DC. EVERYTHING has to be on the table for at least some reduction.

It’s just like a family budget — you PRIORITIZE.
