spending on the big 3, SS, Medicare/aid, and the military cannot be taken seriously on the topic of cutting spending. Solely based on the sheer size of the 3.

But with that said, I do believe defense of our country and it's people is probably the #1 priority of Govco at the Fed level, so it's perfectly valid to prioritize spending on that basis. Short of that, if it takes mindless and spineless across the board cuts to achieve the goal, that's still better than the alternative we have now. But it's not like lefties would go along with that approach either.
