Cut Backs

After watching all the wrangling of the Democrats and Republicans over the debt ceiling I hate to see what is next. I suppose it will be what to cut in future budgets.

If I may suggest let us start with the defense budget. Anybody who has any dealings with the military knows that they are magnificent and wasting money. Remember the $500 toilet seat and the $200 hammer just to name a few. Did you know that at the end of their fiscal year if they have not spent the allotted money they will cut their allotted funds the following year does make any sense to you? So when the end of the year is nearing it doesn't matter what they spend it on they just go on a spending spree as not be cut back in the next budget.

The United States could save a lot of money by taking itself out of the running of being the policeman of the world. Let each country take care of itself if they can that's their problem. We have only been a country a little over 200 years. Most other country's have been around a lot longer if they can't take care of themselves by now they never will be able to.

So let us start with the Defense Department then move on to the State Department as these are the two big-time spenders. We can start by cutting the unnecessary protection of other countries and welfare to the rest of the world and start taking care and building our nation back to what it used to be.
