Conservative have got to wake up. We are BROKE. We cannot have any sacred cows in the Fed Budget. ALL of it is going to have to be reduced.

Cut the welfare. I mean actual cuts; reductions (preferably to zero) in actual spending. Cut the regulatory state; I mean actual cuts in actual size, scope, and cost. Get the government completely out of the medical insurance and old-age pension business.

Then we can talk about the military. For decades "all of it must be reduced" has been code for "slash the military and increase the socialism".

Absolutely wrong.

Here is what actually happens in DC for 3 decades.

Republican Slash the Domestic budget pump up Military spending

Democrats. Slash the Military budget pump up Domestic Spending

DC’s “Solution”: OK we will compromise we will spend more on everything.

Unless you are willing to impose across the board cuts, you are not going to get any cuts.

You can cling to your emotion base ignorance or you can learn some unconformable facts that challenge your opinions.

So far you seem to favor clinging to the ignorance. That is just sad.
