38 (whatever the real # is, it's big) guvmint orgs share in the regulation of salmon.

and that's just salmon, imagine the duplication, waste, duplication, inefficiency, waste, opportunity for fraud, redundancy, waste, duplication, redundancy, corruption, redundancy, waste, and duplication across everything else that is regulated.

Might be enough to build a homeless shelter for all the bureaucrats that could be laid off and yet, the sun would still come up tomorrow if we did lay them off.

Our latest flat top cost over $13 Billion.  http://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-us-...2016-03-09

Fighter planes cost $1.51 Trillion or about $618 Million each.

A new destroyer ship costs over $4.4 Billion.  

... and yet you buy Trump's promise to strengthen the military and simultaneously reduce costs by eliminating waste.

Clearly one part of your brain is not sharing information with the other part of your brain. The result is, of course, incoherence.

We could eliminate the military spending by simply killing all of our real and possible enemies with our current weapons today.

We really don't have any strong military adversaries that we have to worry about.  The only real reason to spend money on the military is to keep people busy building stuff and to maintain the manufacturing capability.  Plus guys (and women) get to wear fancy uniforms.

Politics is the art of the possible. What you're suggesting is not possible. I suspect you're simply trying to shock, but believe me, your schtick is transparently thin.

We have no active enemies right now, true. But two potential enemies have the ability to destroy us as a functioning nation.

An overly simplistic view that doesn't deserve anything other than a pithy dismissal, which is exactly what it's getting here.

Just because you can't get things done it doesn't mean that other people lack the ability.
