After watching the news, I began to think. Ok Balance the budget, cut fat, let's get real, and the new Repunks are about to pounce on us in DC. But lets be real, the very first thing I saw on the 4 Trillion, OMB claims to need to cut, is THERE IS NOT DEFENSE CUTTING
You're kidding me right, you want to cut Social Security, take away the Cost of Living Raise form the poorest of the poor, and leave the 225 an hour consultant alone??? Raise the retirement age again? (PS This shut France down, they actually all walked out and struck against the Government)
Come on, give me a break
Let me point out a few programs that can be cut and only a few very well paid consultants will lose their jobs. Not taking food from the poor

Did you read it right, 41 MILLION for a vehicle to procure. Now help me here, but the government currently HAS programs they use to procure, and I can personally think of 3 or 4 major software companies that will do that for free, IF the Government works an exclusive deal with them. (MS, Oracle, I2 and SAP off the top of my head)
