I would also cut defense. Let's start with all of the military bands and the performance halls that they built for them to perform in.

Yeah, those gosh darn bands are the problem. No?

Oh, you betcha! Maybe we could keep the bands but save a little if they wore their uniforms 'til faded and borrowed instruments from a local high school?!

I am not even a democrat anymore, whatever that is. I guess I am liberal, but really think I am just logical. I honestly would like to have Soc Sec, health insurance for all at a basic level, reasonable environmental and financial regulations, unemployment insurance and food stamps as a safety net. I can't believe that sounds radical to most people.

Yep. There are many of us here, many more of us who don't realize/admit it, and many, many more who should be here. Reagan would be a conservative Democrat, Nixon would be a liberal Democrat, and LBJ would be a crazed radical with no chance of election - we would know that last part because the media and the Democratic leadership would tell us that from the moment he took the stage.
