Angry ginger Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 (edited) Issue with an immediate cut like farmer proposed is that such a cut would ripple through the economy creating a recession as the mic is so ingrained into the fabric of America. The last few years with close to full employment would be the time to start cutting back by maybe 5 percent a year with the eventual goal of being 25 percent less over a 7 to 10 year window and maybe @ third less over a 15 year window.

Platinum Contributing Member SnowRider Posted February 5, 2018 Author Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted February 5, 2018 Has anyone actually identified how much spending is frivolous? Priorities are relative. Cutting by a arbitrary percentage is frivolous. What spending can be deemed an investment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spare engines they said they didn't need or want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. Start with closing non essential bases around the world. Sell a bunch our our old equipment to Isis, Al quieda and talban instead of just giving it to them for free. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleepr2 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Quote wasteful spending on projects that included an Army research study into the bomb-detecting abilities of elephants, puppet shows in Vermont and the creation of a dog bite prevention website, among others. The $294 billion that is being spent on expired programs stems from a report the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office released in January. Last year, the government spent $302 billion on unauthorized projects. “I believe the 'America’s Most Wasted' reports should serve as a wake-up call to Congress and the American people to keep their government accountable by demanding an end to wasteful government spending,” McCain said in a statement. McCain specifically pounced on the budget at the Pentagon, including a $2.4 billion cost overrun on the Navy’s new aircraft carrier. He said the waste specifically harms his mission to lift the sequestration caps on the military’s budget. “We have to get rid of the duplicative waste in the Pentagon so that I can will have credibility when I say, we’ve got to get rid of sequestration because it is destroying our ability to defend the nation,” he said Thursday on Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom.” McCain's report found that the Army is spending $50,000 to research whether elephants in South Africa can detect bombs. It also found that the Social Security Administration has issued more than $225 million in overpayments to more than 106,000 students. Children with a deceased, retired or disabled parent have access to these benefits until they graduate or turn 19. McCain’s report said $2.5 billion in benefits is provided to 4.4 million children nationwide each month. The National Guard has spent $49 million on advertising deals with professional sports leagues to support recruiting, the report found. The government is also spending $14 million on a program at the Department of Agriculture to develop a catfish inspection office even though the Food and Drug Administration already has one. The National Institutes of Health, the report said, awarded a grant worth nearly $391,000 to a university to develop a website to teach children about dog bites. Another $15,000 grant issued by the Environmental Protection Agency was given to a university to study pollution that emanates from backyard barbecues, the report said.
