"trim the fat from the military"....You're joking right? After the last president managed to gut the military over the last 8 years? Why not just do away with public assistance altogether? With the military you get some return on your investment instead of a perpetual open hand begging for money. There needs to be some reorganization within the Federal System to stop the duplication of work that often occurs, and to make sure that the different agencies end up operating off the same plan.
