Ok lets cut the 100 extra billion for defense, sounds reasonable to me. The military doesn't need weapons or paychecks do they ?

A republican military doesn't need $300Billion USD to operate given current technology. An imperial military does. End the empire, restore the republic and we can cut the spending by half without any threat to our defense.

I have an idea. Get elected to something first, then try implementing that brilliant plan.

Otherwise, it's a gaseous emission by a do-nothing, know-nothing.

End the empire. . .

Oh, puh-leeeze! WHAT "empire?"

The United States of America is not an empire, therefore, there isn't one to end.

Sheesh!

Oh goodie. All we need to do is change the name of our military and we can save billions and everyone else will treat us nicey nice. Okie dokie. What a wonderful idea. We could even get rid of those ugly uniforms and buy the men some nice suits and Italian style shoes.
