6. I'm all for it.

Edited on Sun Jan-24-10 06:31 PM by Jackpine Radical

Here is my list of discretionary spending:

The Afghan war
75% of the military budget in general
National testing of public-school students
(the remainder is left as an exercise for the reader.)

These and a few other cuts should leave enough for mandatory spending such as
Universal single-payer health care
Universal education, k-16 for all who can profit from it
The building of a modern, green power grid
High-speed, freely accessible internet everywhere
A nationally run, coast-to-coast high-speed rail system
Decent elder care
Decent wages
etc.
