Ask yourself this: is the government efficient with its defense spending? If the answer is no, why would it be any different with its social programs?

Just because one branch/department is wasteful doesn't mean others are. Trim that military budget and you'll start seeing efficiencies simply because they don't have that extra trillion to spunk up the wall.

A hundred billion here, a hundred billion there, pretty soon you're talking about real money.
