Here's a multi-agency cut in Government Spending I could endorse

Many of our Federal Agencies operate abroad, from Department of State to the Department of Agriculture and all the others in between, there are tens of thousands of Federal Employees working over seas and often in hostile areas. Their security is often provided by contractors. That is expensive. If they want to cut costs they should be required to use the US military to provide security and the US Military should be required to provide that security when it is required. By the way, isn't guarding our Embassies the Marine Corps' responsibility?

2. And just how is my brother in law going to keep my sister living in the style she has

become accustomed to?? You know it goes on at all levels, in all industries and governments. I wish we could all believe that less is more but that isn't going to happen any time soon.
