The Military Industrial Complex Reduction act of 2010
No such act exists. Only wishful thinking on my part.

If I did not have such a 'checkered' past I would run for office and introduce such measures.

4. Where Do I Vote?
What a great dream, but I wonder if anything would be left of our government if such a bill passed. It would gut the core of our so called democracy.

2. I'll kick it off
Amendments to Act:

    1. Cancel the F-35 (continued production of F/A 18 is more cost effective)
    2. Cancel the Reliable Replacement Warhead (we don't need any more nukes)
    3. Cancel the F-22 and mothball existing units (no mission)
    4. Disband the Missile Defense Agency (after 50 years of development, missile defense still does not work)

3. I'd love to see someone in Congress introduce such an act
Dennis Kucinich immediately comes to mind. Also get the CBO to score it.
