Why do we see immediate cuts in the Department of Defense?

but never see such cuts at all in any other Federal Department?

The second link is a list of Federal Agencies. None other than Defense has seen any cuts at all.

Why? To a Democrat or Progressive Socialist Why Not. Most highly visable of
all the government agencys to ax. When so much more could be eliminated by
dismantling the Transportation Saftey Administration. Turn these reject low life
ex security guards back into low life Security guards at Minimum wage.

Then start getting into double and triple billing in Medicare and Medicaid.. Blind
boogy Bills where services or products were never rendered just billed for.
False Billing practices by doctors.

Shut down the Federal Department of Education. Shut down the Federal EPA.
Shut down the Dept, Of Energy. Shut down the BIA. Shut down the DHS.
Put all the agencys back under their separate flags. Completely restructure
the Dept of Transportation. The FAA. **** can the IRS . This would have
us in the Black in a matter of just months. Let the states take care of there
own damn problems,

The United States Department of Homeland Security / TSA is where they need to start! And tackle fraud and waste across the board in the other departments. STARTING with the millions of frigging illegals in this country milking the taxpayers! Then look at DOD.
