I am for universal health care. It is interesting to see who is not, I wonder what their reasons are?

I am in favor of smaller government in general. Shrink the military, shrink healthcare, shrink taxes, keep the roads. I am not a big fan of the government "protecting the people". I am in favor of people protecting themselves. Of course, this is not realizable 100%. we need some military, some healthcare (innoculations) but I would prefer that we have less than we have now. Not more.
So where does a person who wants to shrink the government make cuts? I'd say these are our top candidates for sure making up over 80% of the US budget.
(2006 budget)
Health and human services 23.1%
Social security 20.5%
Military 19.2%
Treasury 16.6%
Compare these same items to 1962 for kicks.
Military 47%
Social security 13%
Treasury 7.9%
Health and human services 3.3%
So yes, I'd shrink the military. I'd shrink healthcare. I'd raise the age of retirement. I'd definitely cut down over at the IRS.
