Sure, like everyone else, I don't like wasteful government spending. But how does one define waste? Surely bombing Afghanistan back to the stone age after we've killed the guy we're there to capture is wasteful. Or doing the same in Iraq years after the maniac we went in there to depose has been deposed. Or sending helicopters to see who's growing cannabis in their backyard or the country's backyard (national forests). But no, government waste these days includes funding for science, public education, law enforcement, guaranteeing a clean food supply, etc.
