I think that the government is too big and the military industrial complex (including intelligence divisions) is the elephant in the room...

They keep talking about entitlements when the great majority of our budget is spent on defense and intelligence to the point where not even the president is privy to everything that is being funded. Think about that a little. If anything needs to be audited it is the defense budget.

The basic issue is that the government has grown beyond the interest of the people and has it's own agenda for which decisions are made in all sectors of government but most importantly are unknown foreign or domestic operations that we fund... the number of operations that we fund and the effect any particular operations or regional inbalances that those operations cause directly or indirectly.
