I find it interesting that the solution to all our national debt problems always seems to be, cut some military program. In 1964 the DOD portion of the federal budget was 60%. Today it is 16%-21% (depending on your source). The current interest payment on the national debt is 9% of the budget. At the rate we are going you could eliminate the entire DOD and not even save enough money to pay the interest on the national debt.

The elimination of the F-22 program is nothing more than a president eliminating a program he knows nothing about because he dislikes the military.
