A lot of us are thinking we can grow our way out of the deficit.
Let’s face it: talk of cutting spending is easy but it never gets done because every one is against it.
The spending caps have negatively affected our military without reducing overall spending.
If someone has a pain-free way to get us smaller government, I’m all for it. But it doesn’t exist.
Sounds to me like the reduction in military spending was poorly implemented. Again, we spend more on the military than the rest of the world combined. If they can't find fat and ways to increase efficiencies in a budget that large, they aren't trying hard.

I've never claimed it would be "pain-free". Sometimes pain is a good thing. In this case, it would probably be a very good thing. If it isn't listed explicitly in Article 1, Section 8, then it needs to be scrutinized very closely.
