Reply #9: I'd like to cut it by $300B and keep it at a reasonable $200B

The amount of waste and fraud, combined with this illegal and disastrous war, are gutting our national budget and sending the US quickly into second-world status. If we ever get control again, the GAO should be bulked up, along with other accounting agences to cut out all the pork and defense industry welfare. Then do the rest with other branches of government and start taxing the rich again to at least begin paying down the national debt.
