Sure.  Last time I checked in 2000 military spending was about 60% of the
discretionary budget and that was BEFORE the latest Republican
imperialism.  If one seeks to cut spending it seems rather silly to
concentrate on the smaller parts of the budget and whine over the school
lunch program.

If the "stimulus" is any indication then the Democratic plan would seem to
be to simply put money in the hands of working people as opposed to
defense contractors and big oil, while at the same time doing away with
tax breaks for the big boys and, perhaps, creating a windfall profits tax
on the oil companies to return some fiscal balance to the budget.

And BTW, moron.  Oil is not created by oil companies and a tax on excess
profits from oil is a tax on economic rent.  Levying a 50% surtax on oil
company profits would not slow the delivery of oil one iota.  Nor would it
affect the current price.
