The top three US non discretionary spending categories are Social Security, Medicare, and Defense. I whole heartedly agree it's time to gut US defense spending, considering we spend more than the next 10 countries combined.

Cutting spending would make the us look weak. Simply not increasing it drastically is good too. Over a long period of time inflation will take over and the spending amount as a percentage of gdp will go down.
