Common Sense Deficit Reduction

What if we were to...

Use defense spending on actual defense, not offense.
In other words, end all of our wars, give peace a chance.

End the "War on Drugs" legalize and tax drugs and empty our prisons of people who committed victimless crimes.
Those would be two giant steps toward deficit reduction.

It makes me wonder why they never talk about this on capitol hill.
They seem to prefer to talk about cutting social security and benefits for veterans.
