Where Would Cut the Federal Budget?

I give much thought to the question, "Where would you cut the budget?"

I come up with a list almost like the one the Heritage Foundation gives, but I cut defense spending by bringing home troops from Europe and Asia including South Korea.

We serve as protectors for nations whose economies compete directly with our own. In many cases, the competition is tilted away from American goods.

Free trade is essential. I don't know who said it, but if trade goods don't cross borders, then armies will. And lest you say I am disloyal to American made goods, I am not. I just want the choice. If I choose to 'Buy American', you can bet I investigated the quality and cost of the product before I bought. If the American good is better/best, then it gets bought. If not, it stays on the shelf in exchange of the purchase of a Korean/Japanese/Indian/Colombian, you get the idea, product.

One must answer, "What will I do without?"

Think of all the Feds do. What will you miss when the budget is cut, and are you really ready to do without it?

If you cannot answer, think. If we begin to think, we will gain the power to stop the nonsense in the National Capital. Only when we think are we able to act.
