While I do agree that we need to look at everything, we need to look the closest at the things that cost us the most because that is where the big savings is going to come from.

I am a huge fan of our military, but the amount of money we spend on it is staggering. Do we really need this? Our biggest threat is a handful of terrorists and China, which doesn't even have a blue water navy. I think we can cut back here a lot.
