One important thing to note is that these cuts also involved cuts to Tricare which is the health program to active duty military and retired personnel. It's stunning that he would try and cut Tricare funding during a war!

Cutting money from the doctors is not the right spot to trim the fat.
Or from the hospital or the pharmacist or the nurses or the guy scrubbing the floors.
That leaves cutting out the insurance companies!
...having nothing in them of the feelings or principles of '76, now look to a single and splendid government of an aristocracy, founded on banking institutions and moneyed incorporations under the guise and cloak of their favored branches of manufactures, commerce and navigation, riding and ruling over the plundered ploughman and beggared yeomanry. -- TJ

Actually - the guy scrubbing the floors is a good spot to start.
Instead of hiring US janitorial labor, the government could just hire illegals for $1.95/hr.
or even better, just get a few of these:

THe first way to cut costs is to end the Iraqi entanglement. And destroy the DHS.
Then, funding entitlements of all sorts becomes more on-the-table debatable and also more doable.

DHS is like the DEA and other federal agencies. Once created, they are here to stay. That's why I groaned aloud when I first heard about the flippin DHS.
Aw, he's no fun, he fell right over.
Unless you become as little children, there's no way you will believe this crap.
