I think that the military could certainly spend their money more wisely, I don't think cutting the military funding during these times is a great idea though.
How about this list for starters: welfare, social security, medicare (especially the drug benefit), all of the thousands of pork projects (they probably would add up to a couple billion). How's that for starters?

Welfare was reformed under a democrat president. 5 year lifetime "benefit" now. Government was exclusively controlled for 6 years by all republican congress/WH. The only thing that happened during this time was MORE (medicare prescription).
Ya'll scrutinize your "opponent" but you don't bother to do the same to your own. Your party had the chance to address these issues....why didn't they, why did they ADD? And then some think we should've allowed them to remain in control longer?????
