I think maybe you should look at the budget and just how much 'the war' is costing compared to the really expensive stuff.
Entitlement programs are what are raping us and you are asking for more. You want to cut big numbers, end entitlements.
Like social security? You want to tell your grandparents and parents that all that money they put into social security will yield them nothing?
Budget breakdown:
Social security - 20%
Defense - 19%
Medicare - 13%
Unemployment and welfare does make up 12% of the budget.
