It really shadows anything else that is spent every day. Ignoring such a hard fact is like ignoring the white elephant standing in the middle of the room. Before trying to cut on anything else, freedomworks should focus on removing all the unnecesary foreing aid and war spending. Then we might continue with other programs.

How can you possibly talk about federal spending and not say one thing about the war? Swearing off earmarks is "a strong beginning?" There have been DOZENS of stories in the news media about government abuses, denials, incompetence, etc. over the billions of dollars simply unaccounted-for over there, as well as millions lost in KBR fraud, etc. etc. etc. Why not a SINGLE WORD about it? Sorry for all the caps guys, but come on. How can you possibly write about fiscal responsibility without discussing Iraq and AFghanistan? Jesus Christ, guys, IT’S THE WAR, STUPID.
