I wont say its ridiculous. Every penny counts. We should have a "standing" army to defend our nation. Not to be the police force of the world. A defensive army would still cost, but not quite as much as a global police force. Its things like... paying to re-label food donations because the destination country refuses to accept donations that have American labels. 100k in the TARP package to go to "African Genital Cleaning Program". Yes its only a few million to re-label food we are already paying a few million to donate, but it adds up. Yes its only 100k, but it adds up. When you look at every single piece of American government spending there are millions and hundreds of thousands being tossed around like its monopoly money it makes a HUGE difference in the bigger picture. Billions being haphazardly thrown away. I have to live fiscally responsible. I have to budget my money and spend it on priorities, without excess waste. Why should they be able to take MY MONEY, that I WORKED for, and spend it in a way I would never spend it myself?
We won't give up on the Military spending, I think it's ironic though that Conservatives throw out the word socialist, but it's the biggest socialist spending we have. True socialism by definition= military
