Cutting military spending is not the solution. It may help, but first we should pay the military better. We don't need the people defending our country living on food stamps. Closing a few bases around the world is a great idea. Why exactly do we still have western europe? Germany is not a risk, and there is no more USSR.
Another idea for cutting a rather nice percentage is getting rid of foreign aid. I'm not sure how much all our foreign aid comes to, but we could use it to pay off some of the debt.
