Never going to happen. One reason is that all members of Congress are going to protect their piece of the pie. That's why Snowe and Collins will always go down swinging for Bath Iron Works, Dodd and Lieberman for Electric Boat and Pratt & Whitney and Murray and Cantwell for Boeing. Believe me, if body bags were only made in Nevada, Dingy Harry would have us fighting on every continent. The other reason is that, if we, as conservatives don't allocate the money to what's important, Hussein would take every cent of DOD cuts and hand it to ACORN and CAIR.
Personally, I'd like to see $30 billion taken from DOD waste and used for NASA as well as incentives for private sector space initiatives.
Admitting defeat before going out to war?
The US cannot afford this wastefulness.
