re: #132 Dark_Falcon

Wanted: Democratic ideas for cutting non-defense spending.

albusteve cited a very interesting report just the other day which included these items:

Washington spends $92 billion on corporate welfare (excluding TARP) versus $71 billion on homeland security

A GAO audit found that 95 Pentagon weapons systems suffered from a combined $295 billion in cost overruns

if these figures are for one year, they amount to about 25% of the typical federal deficit

i’ll go back now and find albusteve’s link so that you can peruse it to find “democratic ideas for cutting non-defense spending”
