12. Cut the military budget to actual defense needs instead of
1) A corporate welfare program for the aerospace and weapons industries

2) A tool for every overgrown "Risk" player who thinks the U.S. should run the world

3) A free weapons program for every repressive foreign government that claims to be "anti-Communist" or "anti-terrorist"

We already have a larger military budget than the next 16 largest countries COMBINED. I'm sure that cutting it back to the next 8 largest countries combined will still keep us safe--from the enemies that we've made through our previous military ventures.
