    Yeap will cut 200 billion out of the 600 billion budget for welfare, I think it will have tremendous effect. Also force the military to be efficient and not buy $10 000 hammers etc

    I like your opinion...

    But how in hell are you going to do it?

    You cannot win a military victory, coz you ain't fighting a country, but an ideology.

    There is only one hope, only one man who is smart enough to defeat terrorism...

    His name is Ron Paul. Vote for him please...

    Exactly. It sounds nice, kill them all!
    However in the process you kill 1,000 families, you slaughter daughers and sons, wives and husbands. You create more of who you are fighting. Your death and destruction to 'destroy' them ends up being the best recruitment mechanism possible for them, and you create more!

    I would balance the budget. I would also demand that Congress pay for every piece of garbage they are adding to spending bills or cut it.

    Well, what you really need IMO, is a Constitutional Amendment (1) that each new Bill must pass Constitutional Muster before a vote (save an Amendment to the Constitution), and (2) an Amendment that the government cannot deficit spend.
