7.5% from the military is $50B.
The current budget is $3T.
See the problem here?
Absolutely. Even a "reasonable" cut with negligible effects is an unrealistic expectation. What's needed will never happen. We can't even "start somewhere."

I have spent practically my whole career (33 years) in defense. I think 25% of the dollars spent are pure waste. We could likely have the same stuff for half off if we bought it intelligently.
It's probably the same story in the rest of government. Why would it be different?
