How about we balance our budget on the backs of the following. Hundreds of billions of dollars have been spent on:
Anchor babies, illegals, new immigrants, and their respective extended families,
Fixing up ramshackle Mexican trucks that will put Americans out of work,
Sponsoring green technology overseas,
Paying college tuition for students from China,
Setting up the Moslem Brotherhood and al-Quaeda in Libya and Egypt,
Setting up CDC labs overseas,
Paying for post doctoral degrees for Indian scientists,
Billions in tax credits for illegals from the IRS,
Subsidizing Palestinian terrorists,
Funding the Taliban and other terrorist organizations in Afghanistan.

I completely agree with you that not one cent of taxpayers’ money should go to support a single thing on your list. And your list is just a start. Our government needs to be massively scaled back.
However, when it comes to balancing the budget, we are so far out of whack that we cannot exempt ANYONE when it comes to making sacrifices. That includes veterans. Yes, I know veterans have already made sacrifices for their country. I am grateful. But we simply cannot allow any special interest group to claim a “special” exempt status when it comes to making cuts. Sorry, but if the money isn’t there it just isn’t there. That means you, me, our neighbors, everybody. If you are going to rein in the government, people are going to get hurt. That’s the hard truth that we must have the political will to accept.
Flame away if you will, but we have to cut government and cut spending, and cut it everywhere. No exemptions.
