Please create a balanced budget and reduce the Federal deficit by first cutting our outrageous levels of military spending, rather than by targeting and whittling away at important domestic programs, (i.e., Medicare, Social Security, Education, etc., etc.).
Why is this important?
The astronomical cost of the U.S. Military, including the hundreds of billions of dollars the Pentagon is now spending waging wars and building weaponry, is the most significant reason our Federal budget is running an unsustainable deficit. The U.S. needs to balance its budget by reducing our military expenditures rather than by making cuts to other Federal programs.
