The budget that many seem to want is simply unsustainable. This is why we are in so much debt nationally. We simply can't afford to fund everything that has crept into the budget over the decades. And yes, the military could use a trimming as well. To those who cry about begging for whatever pittance the president will give them need to rethink how they earn a living...it should be through their own hard work, not taking handouts from the government (in other words, their fellow Americans). If you can't afford X, you should have figured out how to make more money over the years. X=healthcare, decent house, new car, used car, private school, Starbucks coffee, etc, etc, the list is endless.
