Heck, if they really wanted to try, I bet any 5th grade class could help them make smart cuts that are not hurtful.
The problem is "not in my backyard" (or not from my pocketbook). Every politician has people that own them, and have money that they are getting that they are not willing to give up. And they make deals with others that have different needs, so no one touches either pie. and unfortunately, there is no incentive in the way our gov works (from a gov employee/department perspective) to ever lower a budget item. because you lose that money forever more. they are only ever rewarded for always growing their budgets. Heck, I cannot believe there is money to be saved just in shipping costs for medicare paperwork and mailorder prescriptions. Or inflating the tires of all government vehicles and getting them a tuneup to save gas.
