What gets me is that want to cut welfare spending but I know some big corporations (mcdonalds, walmart) that purposefully count on their employees receiving welfare so they dont have to pay livable wages or provide decent health insurance. So basically we are subsidizing cheap labor for these corporations. aleia you said it!!! 
paintpooper you have it right, if these conservatives really wanted to cut welfare they try to promotes companies to pay livable wages, oh but thats "communism".
Military spending is out of control when I was in the army they used contractors for everything which would charge outrageous rates, offices had plasma tvs but interestingly enough our weapons and equipment were all subpar and barely holding together, granted i wasn't frontline infantry but still a faulty weapon does nobody any good. Im all for having a strong military but we spend our money more efficiently rather than these politicians handing out kickbacks to their supporters.
