If the CEO of a company was unable to cut 3% out of a budget he'd be fired.

There must be a dozen project the Pentagon alone could kill that would make up the difference. How about that stupid F-35 program that has failed to produce a reliable fighter after a decade and a half and $1.5 trillion spent?

Can you imagine, if after 10 years, and THAT kind of spending, @ MegaMotors, the engineers failed to produce a reliable automobile, what would happen to those engineers? But the Gov just raises our taxes, or cuts our services, and keeps on keeping on.
